Dear Steve,

That's whatI think, and I wish I could solve this outside of Finale, but font 
issues like this are sometimes opaque and difficult to expose so that they can 
be cured.  The Mac Fontbook utility fixes some problems, but leaves others 
unresolved, and Bill Duncan did no one any favors when he named different 
version of the same font with no change except for the elimination of the space 
in the name.  Besides that, when you see the font label in the library, it has 
a shortened version of the name, so you are not quite sure what the OS is 
seeing.  Another thing - I believe that Bill's B TimesBold is probably Times 
New Roman Bold with another name - and there may be OS confusion with that.  
Fontbook shows duplicates of Times fonts that the "Resolve Duplicates" in the 
editor will not resolve.  I would love to find a reliable method of solving 
this.

Chuck
