The frame is unaffected, and there are no font-reinstallation issues 
(though I did in fact have to reinstall almost all my fonts when I 
upgraded Suitcase). My best guess is that Finale is now reading a 
different height to the font, so that the distance between lines is 
somewhat greater than before. Setting the line-spacing to 75% 
restores the original vertical positioning of the lines of  text, but 
text so "fixed" appears vertically cramped compared to the original, 
so I assume  that both the vertical size of the letters and the line 
spacing have been increased in the "sprawled" version. I emphasize 
that the horizontal appearance and spacing of the text are completely 
unaffected by this problem.
