In the past something
would happen with the text fonts to turn "pi˜" into "piê" and such. (of course, I suppose e-mail might do something similar-- I mean that
characters with diacriticals were replaced with boxes.)
Ah! Yes, of course. Ironically, your example showed up here with the box first and then the diacritic--because I'm on a Mac. The problem is caused because Windows and Mac encode the upper-level ASCII characters (those that require something other than the shift key to bring them up) in completely different slots. The box represents a slot that (in your system) contains no character--but some of the diacritics come across systems not as boxes, but as different diacritics.

Anyway, the reason we're not having this problem anymore is that Finale now (2K2 on) automatically translates upper-level ASCII characters when opening a cross-system file.
