When you say "strange articulation symbols" in your original message,
do you mean that they are NOT from the Articulations font at all, or
that they ARE from the Articulations font, but just the wrong
characters?
I have an inkling that it is the former that you are seeing.
All you have to do is run Data Check>Compare Document Fonts Against
System Fonts and make sure you replace the greyed out Articulations
font (that you removed) with the one that you installed. Probably the
font that Nick sent you doesn't look to Finale like it is exactly the
same font that you created the document with, even though it appears
to have the same name, and so Finale thinks that the font doesn't
exist and substitutes Courier.
I think Swap Fonts will accomplish the same thing, too.
If you discover that you ABSOLUTELY need to have both the old and new
Articulations fonts, then maybe renaming the new one to
ArticulationsB will solve it, as it will peacefully coexist with the
original one and you can choose it for the new glyph whenever you
need it.
Though maybe that won't work, as fonts are a mystical and dark
subject, with many things that do not work as expected...

Hi all,
Never mind - fixed the problem in existing files by finding the
original version of the font that I had installed and re-installed
that. Now the question is: how to get the new symbol into the
existing font library without messing everything up?
Ideas?

Hi all,
I messed up - I know. Nick Carter kindly sent me a new version of
Bill Duncan's Articulation font - with an extra symbol I had asked
for, and I thoughtlessly installed it over the one I had - now
everything is out of place in my custom font libraries - all
documents have strange articulation symbols.
My fault entirely - but how best to proceed to repair the damage?
TIA,
Chuck
