Hi David, It's not just Kim's machine. The problem affects all Mac users. It's definitely a problem with Finale 2005a. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 20 Dec 2004, at 06:12 AM, dhbailey wrote: Kim Richmond wrote: At the risk of seeming too persistent, I'm going to re-post this question, since I didn't receive any answers or response.

Re: [Finale] Re: FONT not working in 2005a
Isn't the font included in OS X? Maybe try reinstalling the font? Or using Font Book and disabling it and then reinstalling it?

Well, I certainly don't remember installing it on my system, but lo, there it is. But then it's listed as a Windows True Type Font, which is odd. Maybe it's installed as part of Microsoft Office? (That might explain a few things... ) I get exactly the same problem as Kim in Finale 2005a, by the way. The font does not show up correctly in Finale, although it works fine in other OS X applications. Haven't tried it in earlier versions of Finale.

Haven't tried it in earlier versions of Finale. Chalkboard works fine in Finale 2005 but not 2005a. (Macintosh) So I think that this problem is specific to the 2005a update. Chalkboard is installed as part of Panther. It shows up as Windows TrueType font but it is native to the OS. I'm stumped by this. -K On 19 Dec 2004, at 09:47 PM, Simon Troup wrote: Of course, people will only see it in Chalkboard if they have it installed, but that's another story.
