Cross post again: Okay, tech support resolved it. There is an additional step to follow, involving clearing the font cache, which I thought Font Book did, but I was wrong. Strangely, I wasn't able to find this answer when I searched, but tech support pointed me to it. I still don't know why things worked before then stopped working. This is what solved it:

Why is this happening? Answer Recent changes introduced in Snow Leopard may affect the fonts used by Finale in rare cases. Apple is aware of this problem, and is currently working on a fix. In the meantime, to correct the problem: Log in as administrator of your computer. Download the clearfontcache.zip Extract and run the application. When you see the [Process Completed] message, quit the program and restart the computer. When the computer is restarted, open Font Book (Applications > Font Book). From the Edit menu, click Select Duplicated Fonts. From the Edit menu, click Resolve Duplicates. Quit Font Book and then launch Finale.
