Thank you so much Christopher for taking the time to do this, I was out today and just got back from work. I will definitely write to techsupport to know how this feature is supposed to work in normal conditions, and what is not working as expected.

I only tested fi, because that was the ligature that appeared in Dennis' example.

I used the default lyric font from Finale's Maestro Default File, which is Times 12 plain.

I went back to check other ligatures, and apparently fi and fl are the only ones substituted. Ae and oe are not, though I can type opt-' and opt-q to force those last two, as expected. Typing op- sh-5 for fi forces that one, and opt-sh-6 forces fl. All forced ligatures are preserved when exporting as EPS, whereas the fl and fi that are automatically substituted by Finale get stripped. Times does not appear to have ligatures for ff, ffl, nor ffi, so I didn't check them.

I should mention that if you use the OSX's Print To PDF function, then it shows up exactly as in the Finale file. It is only Export EPS that strips the automatic ligatures.
