John, What a valuable service you have provided! I must say, MM's failure to act on this fix is deplorable, all the more so since they are aware of it from your work. While it took you valuable personal time to discover and share the fix, would I be correct in saying that the necessary (re)programming is trivial? Again, my thanks to you!! Jim

The failure of the EPS export in Windows to properly render characters
is a result of a very simple bug: the temporary internal font name is
not converted to the external name at time of export. I previously
provided a manual work-around; see
http://www.editionspoole.com/admin/FinaleTips/font_fix/Font_fix.htm
This failure to export the font name bug should not take much time (if
you know what you are doing) to fix; Finale's decision to ignore this
bug and hide under the "Finale is a complex program" excuse is almost
laughable it's so lame.
Shame on whoever decides development priority at Finale.
