I've been doing a project in Fin 2006c, exporting into PageMaker to

a book. I've always exported eps, but compiling eps still doesn't work
properly. E.g. if I'm using a font with different weights of bold,
even when
I select the right one in the menu I only get one degree of bold -
if I pick
the "heavy," say, it reverts back to regular Roman in the eps.
So I thought I'd try pdf, which I can import into PageMaker. This
was fine,
except the 16th note rest prints as a box. It's fine onscreen, fine
when I
print to paper directly out of Finale, but screwed up when I print
out of
PageMaker. (PageMaker is an OS9 Classic application, and I suspect the
problem lies here).
I think you are correct.
Were fonts adjusted for OSX?
Yes, they were.
Are there any other characters I should watch
out for?
Hmm, I used to know this. Manually-entered whole rests (the default
ones are fine), double flags on sixteenths, I can't remember any others.
Is there a solution?
Well, the word from MM is that font embedding in EPSs works properly
in the OSX version of Finale 2007, so that might be a solution, but I
haven't tested this assertion myself. Frankly, I have found that some
"fixes" that were proudly announced were not fixed at all, so I take
everything with a grain of salt until I can make sure that it works
under MY conditions. But check it out anyway, and report back to us.
