Hi Christopher,

When you say "strange articulation symbols" in your original

wrong characters?
They are not from the articulations font.
I have an inkling that it is the former that you are seeing.
All you have to do is run Data Check>Compare Document Fonts Against
System Fonts and make sure you replace the greyed out Articulations
font (that you removed) with the one that you installed. Probably
the font that Nick sent you doesn't look to Finale like it is
exactly the same font that you created the document with, even
though it appears to have the same name, and so Finale thinks that
the font doesn't exist and substitutes Courier.
I haven't tried this - I must say it does scare me a little, but I
will try it.
I think Swap Fonts will accomplish the same thing, too.
If you discover that you ABSOLUTELY need to have both the old and
new Articulations fonts, then maybe renaming the new one to
ArticulationsB will solve it, as it will peacefully coexist with
the original one and you can choose it for the new glyph whenever
you need it.
That sounds eminently sensible.
I'll try the check fonts thing.
Thanks,
Chuck
Though maybe that won't work, as fonts are a mystical and dark
subject, with many things that do not work as expected...

Hi all,
Never mind - fixed the problem in existing files by finding the
original version of the font that I had installed and re-installed
that. Now the question is: how to get the new symbol into the
existing font library without messing everything up?
Ideas?

Hi all,
I messed up - I know. Nick Carter kindly sent me a new version
of Bill Duncan's Articulation font - with an extra symbol I had
asked for, and I thoughtlessly installed it over the one I had -
now everything is out of place in my custom font libraries - all
documents have strange articulation symbols.
My fault entirely - but how best to proceed to repair the damage?
TIA,
Chuck
