Hi all,
When I create PDFs of a score, some characters are showing up differently when
I open the PDF.
I'm on FinMac 2008b, Mac OS 10.5.4
I'm using Maestro as my default music font. Specifically, up bows are
converting to caesuras (railroad tracks), down bows are converting to
single-slash "tremolos," and whole rests are becoming a slanted character that
I haven't identified yet. These are only the problems I easily found--I haven't
looked for any more....
I initially thought it was a problem with viewing the PDF in Preview, but Adobe
Acrobat gave me the same problems.
I changed the font of the up bow and down bow to Maestro Wide, and that solved
the problem when viewing in Acrobat, but not in Preview. Preview and Adobe
didn't like it any better when I changed to EngraverFontSet, either.
I don't know how to change the character of the whole rest, but I could try
that if anyone can give me directions on how to do that. I'm hesitant to change
the default music font because of all the spacing I've adjusted around the
lyrics.
I'll be calling Finale Tech support in the morning once they open for business.
Has anyone run across this type of issue before? Any ideas of how to fix it? Is
it a font problem, a character problem (other articulations in the default font
show up correctly), is it a Finale problem, a system problem? This affects
numerous files, so hopefully an efficient solution is available.
Thanks for your wisdom!
Ryan
