There are some issues with the Opus fonts, particularly because they are what are referred to as "Naked" TrueTypes, which is basically a raw TTF file outside of a font suitcase. Some work in Finale, some don't. I haven't discovered a workaround yet short of messing with the font itself.
On a side note...To clear up any misconceptions about font annotation files, this is what they are, and how they are used in Finale: Font annotation files provide the true dimmensions of a character in a given font. The reported height of a character in a given font is dictated by the tallest character in that font. For text fonts, that's not a huge deal, since the tallest character in the font is not all that far from the shortest alpha-numeric character in the font. In a music font, the variation in the size of characters is far greater (in fact the tallest character in Maestro is the Treble Octava [sp?] clef, all the way down to a staccato dot--quite a difference!), which you will notice in an application like Microsoft Word, when you use a Maestro Font music character alongside a regular text font. Font Annotation files are used (last I checked) to calculate selection rectangles in the Selection tool, the curvature of Engraver Slurs, and I think they may be used in some tuplet bracket calculations as well. Hope this helps a bit. --Allen | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Dannewitz | Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 1:54 PM | To: finale@shsu.edu | Subject: Re: [Finale] Odd problem with Opus Special font | | Do you have the font annotation installed for it? | | Johannes Gebauer wrote: | > I want to use one articulation from Opus Special (Sibelius font).
