[Finale] Font problem in Finale 2012
Yesterday I bought the upgrade to Finale 2012. I installed it properly on my iMac but when I open the program there are no fonts. ¿What should I do to correct this problem? Thanks in advance Alberto Guzmán ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Font problem in Finale 2012
I had the problem of fonts not displaying right. I saw this on the Finale forum. It fixed it for me. http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/749/kw/749/r_id/101773 It's a link to download all the fonts again. Hope that helps. - Nigel Hanley On 09/10/2011, at 12:13 AM, Alberto Guzmán Naranjo wrote: Yesterday I bought the upgrade to Finale 2012.

That's strange. I'm on Mac too. The FontPack downloaded as an install package. No need to save, just click. Perhaps you should try downloading again. Justin Phillips from Finale added this solution to the forum. 1) Go to Finder's Go menu Go to Folder. 2) Type in /Library/Fonts 3) Locate the Maestro fonts (as a test first) and drag them to the Trash 4) Install the .dmg FontPack from the link below: www.finalemusic.com/Downloads/Default.aspx?id=374 On 09/10/2011, at 1:44 AM, Alberto Guzmán Naranjo wrote: Thanks.

Re: [Finale] Font problem in Finale 2012
FM2012 installed without problems on my desktop Mac, where I do most of my work. On my MacBook, which I in Finale contexts more use for references between work sessions, the percussion staff in a march score had odd substitutions for the note heads, even if the installation reported itself successful. I then ran the suggested font installer, and all note head went funny. Again after the installation reported itself successful. I then carried out the procedure suggested below here and deleted al the fonts that obviously were related to engraving, and then once more ran the font installer. And now the scores look right, but then I haven’t looked at all possible ways of writing in Finale. As I see it, Finale’s font installer must be wrong. If it will not install, when older font versions are in the fonts folder, then it should uninstall them as part of the procedure. At least it should not declare the installation successful.

[Finale] font problem in PDF
i'm not sure where this problem comes from, maybe someone has a solution. i (mac) sent parts to the orchestra librarian (PC) who sees characters instead of music symbols for noteheads, clefs etc. my distiller settings are to embed all music fonts (subset when under 100%). she sees the same problem with a PDF generated through the OSX dialogue. the conductor didn't have this problem, but i know he has finale installed, and therefore all necessary fonts, on his dumputer. in the short term she is downloading the demo version of finale and so should have the fonts and be able to view/print the parts correctly, but this should not happen and i would like to resolve it. any ideas? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Does the librarian have an early version of Windows? Recent Mac- created PDFs break on older versions of Windows. I had this problem at a print shop (!)

Re: [Finale] font problem in PDF
Don't you want to have Acrobat Embed all fonts rather than the subset? i leave common fonts like times and arial out of the embed list. although the fact that some of these fonts actually look different on mac and pc makes me rethink this idea... initially i only selectively embedded fonts to reduce document size, but i guess this shouldn't realy be so much of a problem now, the extra fonts don't add so much bloat.

[Finale] Font problem
Hello, I use Finale 2005, and just upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.4 from 10.3.9. I deleted that apple.com.ATS folder, as instructed. Most of my fonts show up fine, but I noticed, in the first file I opened, that an Engraver font accent-with-staccato shows up as a box in its flipped form. The regular one is fine. I double clicked it. In the dialog box, the flipped form shows up as that box. When I go to change it, the correct flipped accent-staccato has already been selected. But it shows up as the box again when I hit OK, and remains as the box when I leave the articulations dialog box. Has anyone encountered and solved this problem?

Re: [Finale] Font problem
David, Apple has been messing around with TrueType fonts in OS X to accommodate native Windows versions, and STILL don't have it right. The glyph you are talking about in Engraver is Shift-Opt-6 and will not display or print properly with the TrueType version. Other broken combinations include Shift-Opt-2 and 5, and one more I can't think of at the moment. I am not up to speed on font technicalities, even though I have created a few; I am more on the artistic side rather than the technical. If you have access to the PostScript versions, use those...you will have all characters available. I am continuing to try to solve this problem, and I welcome any input from anyone who knows.

Finale 2004 and I assume 2005 only lets you use fonts with particular encodings - if you look up font encoding in the OLD you can read more if my memory serves. This of course is very annoying. It also breaks things like the Opus font in Sibelius. Makemusic replies that it's what all Mac applications should be doing anyway, and so they're not going to change it.

I did try the demo, though, and while it only converts half of the glyphs I was able to get the converted fonts to work in MS Word.

On the system 9 side, I use Suitcase to manage many (not all) of my fonts. The fonts that Suitcase manages are in a separate folder called Fonts that does *not* reside in the System folder.

Re: [Finale] font problem!
Andrew, Be careful with FontBook -- before you do anything, check out the Preferences and make sure you check Always copy font files when installing. One thing you definitely *don't* want is for your fonts to be moved from you Classic System Folder. To install a PostScript, Font using FontBook, double-click the .bmap file. FontBook will then install *both* the .bmap file and the Type 1 font file to the location you specify in the Preferences. Also, where are your troublesome fonts installed now? Are they only in your OS 9 System Folder/Fonts? Or did you copy them to the OS X side -- to Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts? Are you using the same OS 9 System Folder for actually booting OS 9 *and* running Classic, or do you have two separate OS 9 System Folders? - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 22 Aug 2004, at 11:44 AM, Andrew Stiller wrote: On Aug 21, 2004, at 2:20 PM, Eric Dannewitz wrote: Have you tried to install the Font using OS X 10.3s Font Book application?

Thanks, BTW, to all those who replied. After posting, I realized that a last-ditch solution would be to make PDFs from all my Finale 2K2 and earlier files: these would then be openable and printable in OSX while retaining the exact appearance that the original files had in OS9. If it ever comes to that, I'll have some more questions, but for now I'll fool around w. the fonts and see if FontBook installation fixes 'em.

Look, this is getting serious. Many, perhaps most, of my fonts do not display properly in OSX. MetTimes for instance (my standard music-in-text font) shows up in OSX with the space character replaced by a lower-case I with an acute accent. I have presented this problem to the list before, and so far nobody has been able to suggest anything relevant short of individually modifying each separate font with Fontographer. Since this would require months of time that I do not have, it appears that I will be permanently wedded to OS9 unless someone comes up w. an appropriate fix. I will certainly be unable to use any future Finale upgrade till then [MacSupport, take note!], nor will I *ever* be able to abandon my current mac. A solution is very urgently required.
