Finale is not unicode compliant. What font are you trying to use?
Allen
and
Finale doesn't support Unicode. You need an old-fashioned
non-Unicode IPA font.

Allen, Darcy, and Richard,
Thank you all. I tried using one of the fonts Richard suggested. It
still gives me a bunch of rectangular boxes in Finale, and I can't get
it to work anywhere in any application.
Maybe I'm installing the font incorrectly? I dragged it into the top
level fonts folder. That should work, but it didn't. I next tried
making sure that it showed up as active in Linotype FontExplorer X. I
then tried converting the font to PS with True Blue. I did these in
stages, but none of them gave me a font that works in any situation.
This is too much like work! I'm going to use unicode in MS Word to
type my three words, export each as a pdf, open them in Graphic
Converter, trim/crop to the words and save them tifs, and import those
into Finale. At least I know that will work! At this point, it is
faster than messing with this. Thank goodness I don't need IPA
regularly!
Thank you all for your suggestions. I now see why unicode in Finale
would be a really nice thing!
