Steve ultimately had the most helpful response to this, but this is a
common problem I have encountered when using times type 1 postscript.
Steve suggests using open type, which can be found below. I've also
used the work around of searching for the opt-space characters and
replacing them with my palatino type 1 ps, which _does_ work for some
reason. Hope this helps, I included our previous conversation below:

I have done some very extensive tests regarding the optionspace issue and
our conclusions is that it is a font, OS, and Finale 2006 related. What we
have discovered in 2006 is that you need to use OT fonts for option spaces
to go to press and PDF properly AND consistently. This only affects certain
fonts but the big problem is it is the main ones like Palatino and Times.
There are some instances where Old Adobe fonts will be OK and you can use
the Apple supplied fonts but we needed something a bit more concrete than
using .dfonts. OT fonts have cured all problems with Finale. This problem
also affect special characters in Spanish text.
You can pickup the "Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition" for $99 online
http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1902.html . The only thing you may
need to purchase separately is Times. After we made this move we have had no
problems.

I've had some problems with the option space character in certain
fonts as well. Problems where, in times for instance, the option space
character appears as a [] box looking thing and then prints with no
space at all. The way I've been able to combat this problem is to
search and replace option-spaces with palatino. For some reason,
Palatino prints and displays correctly for me. It's been a bit of a
mystery to me for a while, but at least I found a work around.

Seems somewhat unfair, doesn't it? I mean, seems like you did your part
correctly.
Have you tried a hard space yet? (I believe that's option/space.)

Im' trying to similate optical margin alignment a la InDesign. It works
fine in Finale, but it doesn't print correctly. Has anyone any
experience with this?
