They OS X keyboard viewer does not display all fonts in the pull- down menu — only a tiny subset of those installed on my system.

The Character Palette lists all kinds of variations on the "LOGICAL AND" character (which happens to be an inverted "V")-- but the vast majority of the results are Unicode characters that can't be used in Finale. But even if there are non-Unicode characters include there -- and there might be -- there is no way to tell, because the Character Palette does not show that info. Finally, the Character Palette doesn't tell you what key combination is mapped to the selected glyph.

There is a free version of Linotype FontExplorer X that I still use. (Mac only.) It seems to work with the latest OS and I don't see any need to upgrade to the commercial version.

I don't use it to manage my fonts, but it is a great tool for showing all the characters and the keyboard equivalents not to mention printing out the typefaces.
