I don't know how Finale handles the SoundFonts, but this is not true. SoundFonts are only a collection of samples and layers of information about them. Programs like LiveSynth Pro are specifically made to provide SoundFont playback to other applications, and to use SoundFonts that exceed Soundblaster soundcard memory (such as Yamaha's Splended Piano at 260MB). I have LiveSynth and it plays just fine through my SoundFont-incompatible Waveterminal 2496 cards. If Finale is using SoundFonts as a basic package feature, I would hope that their own SoundFont playback software is included. (I can't be sure, though, as I have passed on buying this Finale copy-protected version.)
