Well, I'll be...
There it is, almost completely fixed.
But there are a few small problems
1) No instructions. When the dialogue box comes up with the missing
font in italics, there should be an instruction to choose the font I
want to replace the missing one. I got it the second time, though. I
found mighty thin explanations in the documentation, nothing to say
what action you should take to get a result.
2) The Apply button and the OK button appear to do the same thing.
Why is that function duplicated? No, wait a minute, the latter
dismisses the dialogue box afterward, while the former doesn't. Okay,
that took a few tries.
2) The first font it found (Chicago), I didn't know what to do, so I
pressed OK. It went on to the next unfound font, so I selected a font
to replace it, which it did no problem. Then when I ran the utility
again, expecting Chicago to come up, it didn't! Finale did not
realize that I hadn't replaced the Chicago font (if I had pressed
Cancel, it would remember the missing font). Then when I tried to
replace it manually, Chicago would not appear in the list of fonts to
search for.
Just thought you might like to know.
But even a fussy tool that can mess up your file if you don't use it
properly is vastly superior to no tool at all, so thanks!

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.
