I use Times New Roman italic 14 pt. for text expressions, normal for fingerings (guitar), and bold for tempo text. Some years ago I adventured into obscure fonts and ran into portability disasters. You will probably hear some here disparage TNR but beware selecting fonts that are uncommon.

i've noticed this since moving up to 2007, every once in awhile when scrolling through the expression list all the expressions i have defined as fixed size are larger than they normally appear in the menu. sometimes they are so large that i can't even read them (at least twice as large).

I'd second this. Bill's articulations font (plus all his other great fonts, like rehearsal and enclosure) and Maestro font make for clear, professional looking charts. I used to think the Jazz font was great. Hell, I bought it before it was bundled with Finale (like, 1995ish?). I even bought

Dear Jef, I use Maestro combined with Bill Duncan's chord font (that I find to be beautiful, clear, and relatively compact in relation to its readability) and a few of his other special fonts for rehearsal letters and articulations. While there are some who like the Finale Jazz font, I

Hi, First of all, thanks for all your suggestions for default settings. Now for a quick question: is there a way that I can track down a list of fonts that are used in a particular document? I can swap fonts if I know what font I want to swap and I can do a data check to find out how many fonts
