Yeah, I did the same thing. Once. Unfortunately, Finale was telling
me that one of my symbol fonts was missing, one that I had used for
arrows, but since it didn't tell me which font it was (the quote
marks were empty) I ended up with huge letter B's all through my
piece where the arrows used to be, and since I had used Times in many
places, I couldn't use the Swap Fonts command without screwing up
every expression in the document.
Fortunately, I had used the progressive save method (file001.mus,
then next save file002.mus, etc.) so I was able to revert painlessly.
And I don't know if other people have this problem, but on my Mac I
haven't been able to use Check Document Fonts Against System Fonts
for several versions now, and across three different computers. It
finishes its process with no message, even though I KNOW there are
some fonts in the document that don't exist on my system.

I just saw this problem for the first time on Saturday. I was
working with getting the November font which I had just purchased
integrated into my templates and files. I was wondering if the
files and libraries with November were just created with older
versions of Finale.
Anyway, when the dialog popped up, I just did a "replace font
with..." and set it for Times. I don't think I had the problem
anymore after telling it to swap the fonts.

I don't have a recent version of Finale, but if I encountered this
I'd run the data integrity checks. In my version of Finale these are
on the OPTIONS | DATA CHECK menu. Checking the file integrity and
the
document fonts against system fonts seem like the most obvious
choices. But you may have different choices (and on a different
menu)
in a later version of Finale.
But that's where I'd start.

In Fin2k9b, go to Document-->Data Check-->File Maintenance. Do
the full treatment.
Then, run Document-->Data Check-->Font Utilites. Check "Check
Document Fonts Against System Fonts" and click OK. Fix any
remaining font things that come up. For those with 2k9 initial
release or earlier, we merged all the font related options in the
Data Check sub-menu (and added a couple of new ones) into the new
Font Utilities dialog for 2k9b.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. This file just won't lose
the error message even after those procedures. I'll probably have
to junk this file.
