Hi all, I moved recently from WinXP 32-bit to Win7 64-bit, and I'm having a killer of a font problem in Finale. Wanted to see if anyone had experienced anything similar.
My usual text face is a family called Minion. I have a full set of this in TrueType from several years ago. In addition to the usual reg/semibold/italic/semibold italic, it has a separate bold/bold italic and also a black weight. In Fin11 under WinXP, these showed up separately under the font menu -- that is, Minion itself showed the usual varieties, but there were separate entries for Minion Bold and Minion Black. In Fin11 under Win7, this all works fine in the font dropdown in the Expression Designer. But in the Character Settings dialog for the text tool, there is a single main entry for Minion with the various styles listed to the right. When I select Black, the preview sample looks correct, but when I hit OK, the text appears in regular Minion. And when I go back to Character Settings, Regular is selected. This essentially means that I can't set any text to Minion Black, which I usually use for titles. Two other data points: If I open in Fin11 an existing document with text in Minion Black, the document displays correctly, and if I open up Character Settings, Black is selected. But if I then hit OK, the text reverts to Minion Regular. And second, other apps in Win7 (like Word 2010) behave as expected, with a separate listing for Minion Black. Anybody else having issues with deep type families with Finale and Win7? Thanks, Aaron. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
