Re: [Finale] Opentype fonts and Finale 2004 (Mac)

[Eric Dannewitz]

Yeah. I found that the swing font (http://www.jazzfont.com/) didn't work 
for me at all in OS X with Finale 2004. I had to use FontLab to convert 
the font to opentype.

Emails to the author went unanswered (rude, but oh well)........

From reading on the Finale forums, it seems that Finale 2004 OS X will only
     

allow Opentype fonts to be used for certain (hopefully not all!) elements.
This is causing me quite a bit of grief as the Opus Font, for example, is a
truetype or PS font, and so doesn't appear at all on the screen.
   

No Finale will not only allow OpenType fonts, this is complete nonsense.

However, certain TrueType encodings will not work in OS X.

If all you need is to convert such fonts into a format that works with
Finale OS X you can get TypeTool. However, it doesn't support OpenType, at
least not for saving.
