Re(2): [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Thanks, everyone, for all the help. In the process of rearranging the fonts, I discovered that QuickLook in Snow Leopard let's me see a sample of the font if, in the Finder, I highlight the file and press the space bar. Great for cleaning out the Amharic and other fonts. **Leigh

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

I've been following this thread as font problems are always never far from looming up unexpectedly! Thanks Darcy for your ever helpful posts. All this has prompted me to look into my own system and see what fonts are lurking there since numerous upgrades and when I look in my Macintosh

Wow, only one person gets credit for helping? The first file is the file that would be downloaded to a postscript file The second are the screen bitmaps for use with the above file. Display parts for the postscript font. The last file contains the TrueType fonts. So, if you don't have a

Hi Chuck, I haven't gone through the thread so I don't know if your problem is solved already, but have you tried clearing the OS font cache? Usually it is the first thing you want to try when encountering font problems. === - Hiro http:/:a-no-ne.com Sent from iPhone 3G-S with no spell

[Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Hi All, Well, I almost always do the incremental OS updates that Apple sends out, this time going from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3. As soon as the computer restarted and I opened Finale, symbols are misplaced everywhere, and nothing is legible. Note heads appear as slashes, or other strange things,

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

You have duplicate fonts happening in your system. Go into /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Fonts and get rid of the duplicates. There might also be some in /Library/Fonts on the Macintosh HD Or you could use FontBook which is in Applications..though I have found it works better to go in and

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

If that's all it is, I can probably fix it. I will try now. Thanks for the speedy reply. Chuck On Mar 30, 2010, at 6:29 PM, Eric Dannewitz wrote: You have duplicate fonts happening in your system. Go into /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Fonts and get rid of the duplicates. There might also

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Hi Chuck, I'm fairly certain it's not 10.6.3. Finale (all versions) is just fine on my system after installing the 10.6.3 upgrade. I'd recommend reinstalling your fonts. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 30 Mar 2010, at 9:22 PM, Chuck Israels wrote: Hi All,

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Hi Darcy, The Finale ones? From the 2010 installer - do a custom install and only do the fonts? I tried resolving duplicates in Font book, and that changed nothing in how Finale displays. This was an instantaneous change, as son as the Mac rebooted in 10.6.3. Strange. Not panicked yet,

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

I had a similar problem. What I figured out was that I had duplicates in Library/Fonts and Username/Library/Fonts And that Finale wasn't liking that I had both truetype and Postscript fonts installed. So, removing the Postscript fonts fixed everything for me. On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 6:45 PM,

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

I am trying to deal with that - not sure how to see these things - which ones are which, but I'm trying. I did re-install the Finale fonts, as Darcy suggested, from the Finale support site. Now it's just a different mess - different wrong symbols are appearing. I keep working on this.

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

I seem to have fixed this - by removing some fonts from the root level and putting them in the User library. Finale seems to want some of them there. Others were in the root level font folder, and I removed them from there (some of these are fonts that are in use in Finale) and, even though I

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

I haven't had to install Finale in a while, but generally programs assume that they are going to be accessed by multiple users on a computer, and therefore will put the fonts in the root level /Library/Fonts. However, it seems that Finale at some point might have, or intentionally does,

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Hi Chuck, I have all my fonts in Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts. You should keep all of your fonts there as well. Your [username]/Library/Fonts folder should be empty, and you should move any fonts found there to Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts. If there are fonts you DON'T want to use, you should

Re: [Finale] 10.6.3 renders Finale illegible

Hi Chuck, I would recommend removing ALL MakeMusic Finale fonts (not third-party fonts, but Maestro, Engraver, etc. -- anything that is installed by the Finale installer), then reinstalling those fonts from the Finale DVD. Obviously you'll need to quit Finale before doing this, and a reboot
