Ah, good old Twinbridge, which was developed for and funded by US
Library, a pseudo Unicode-like, runs on DOS.  Twinbridge created own
font and mapped them on their own way, for non Asian to input so it was
very difficult for natives to use.  When Libraries switched to NT4,
Twinbridge was banned, as I heard.

Just peaking their site, I was surprised that they became one of the
authorized MS importer.  They sell XP Japanese for $450, which is the
price you see everywhere.  I bet MS controls it.  OSX is only $100
street, and you don't need to pay importer for extra because it is the
same as what sold in Japan :-)

I was surprised your copy still works on Word under XP.  MS is really
good with backward compatibility.

I am still unable to do Japanese in Finale 2006 under Win2KSP4JP.  I
tried with many different fonts but to no avail.

Not sure if I understand this.  Is this a WinFin specific thing that I
can't find?  By the way, the XML does tells me you did use MS Gothic.  I
can't make it work.
