The repeat bracket isn't a font character. It's just made up of lines. When you're using JazzFont, you will want to increase the thickness of a lot of Finale's lines (like the repeat brackets, but also tuplet brackets, hairpins, etc.) so that it looks more like manuscript. My repeat brackets are set to a thickness of 1.5 points. You can set this in the Repeat section of Document Options.
Also, you probably wouldn't like it if the repeat brackets were drawn some other way, using a ragged font character or whatnot. That would look terrible. After all, any good hand copyist uses a ruler to make ending repeat brackets and hairpins, etc.. They don't just draw them freehand.

I just started using the Jazz Font in Finale 2004 for Windows, and when I inserted
graphic first and second endings on a fake book style lead sheet, the repeat sign
on the staff was in Jazz Font, as were the ending numbers. But the bracket was
(to my eyes) not in Jazz font and looked out of place on the page.
It seems strange to me that the repeat sign is partially in Jazz font and partially
in some other traditional font.
Is there an ending bracket somewhere that looks hand-copied and is adjustable
for length and height, so that it could be positioned above any chord symbols?
The Jazz font doesn't seem to have any straight vertical character that I can see.
Am I missing something, somewhere? Can the bracket be edited in any way?
And on the same topic, sort of, is the GoldenAge font still around?
Thanks,
Ron Olexy
