No, I haven't.

I couldn't say, but I haven't run across this.  Admittedly, I haven't used
MacFin2004 for too many "serious" things yet, but I have spent some time
with it (I even ordered the manual in print).

It's not that I'm steering clear of it; I actually haven't started many new
engraving projects since I got it.  All continuing projects are still going
on in the version I used to start them.  In any case, I found that the Art
department at work can extract their EPS files from the OSX-created PDFs
(that is, since the font pack came out), so the lack of EPS files is no
longer a problem for me.

Actually, I recently found out that the Preview app in Panther (10.3) can
view PS and EPS files.  Can it convert PDF files into EPS?  That might be a
good work-around for all of the EPS problems, if people haven't checked
whether their EPS-using clients can accept PDF files.

I fear the same, but in any case I'm enjoying FinMac2004 despite the issues
associated with it.  I still need to learn the new Expression system a
little better, though...
