Then it becomes the default on your computer and most the your files will get the dialogue box. I find that merely deleting the "MacSymbolFont.txt" file doesn't always work. When Finale makes  a new one, it gets info from the piece and replicates a funky file. Try opening it in a text editor (it's in the component folder) and deleting the non-music fonts from it manually. -Carolyn Carolyn, I tried both methods.  Deleting the entire "MacSymbolFont.txt" file results in a series of dialog boxes asking to define fonts, so that is not helpful. Opening the file and deleting the "Times" font leaves me just where I had been, with the same single dialog asking about making it a symbol font or leaving it as a text font (which I assume it is).  Finale seems confused, and I'd like to help it clear this up, but I don't know what to do next. I have written Macsupport.  Perhaps they'll have a solution. Until they respond, I'll be glad to try other ideas.
