Hi Chuck, I would recommend removing ALL MakeMusic Finale fonts (not third-party fonts, but Maestro, Engraver, etc. -- anything that is installed by the Finale installer), then reinstalling those fonts from the Finale DVD. Obviously you'll need to quit Finale before doing this, and a reboot after removing and reinstalling might not hurt either.
