Usually, fonts get installed, I think, in
Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Fonts and are available just to that user.
But, some programs install the fonts in /Library/Fonts (Like Macintosh
HD/Library/Fonts) which is available to all users. There is an option in
Font book, in the preferences, to force the program to install a font in
a specific place. And, you can drag fonts from Collections (Like
Computer) to a User, and vice versa. I'm sure you already knew all this.
Perhaps there were two copies that were different with the same name
that was causing the problem? Rather interesting problem......

I am in touch with Nick about this now.
Nd yes, I meant the Finale Library. I have moved symbols around and
deleted some, at my convenience so, if you replace the articulations
font in Fontbook (the application that handles fonts on Macs) the root
level of the computer cannot know what you've done in Finale. If I'd
given this a moment's thought, I could have seen this coming.
Experience is a hard teacher; first the test; then the lesson.
Anyway, everything is now restored to working order. I re-installed
the Articulations font I had originally, and everything is back in
place. Now I would like to figure out how to proceed to add the one
new symbol Nick has made. Maybe Nick will be able to tell me, or
maybe I can figure out how to create it from one of the existing
symbols, which is what I think Nick did. It's simply a re-orientation
of something that's already there.
