The font has to be reorganized for Finale character order, plus all its characters have zero width and height -- that's how the author was able to overlay them in Graphire. So it means going character by character, re-ordering, reformatting for proper width and height, and fixing about a dozen of the characters with flaws in their vector curves and points. It took me quite a while to track down why a 16th note flag was ending up in the wrong place in certain conditions. Turned out one of the points was off the map; it didn't affect how the character looked normally, but screwed up its Postscript placement. Anyway, it's my default music font in Finale now. If you have the original install stuff and serial numbers (and it wasn't a 'clocked' version) then it will run on Windows systems up to XP (I don't have Vista or 7, so can't check). Not sure how it works on Macs; if there's an older emulation mode, then you can try it. If you had a dongle version, then you may need to contact the guy with the authorized release codes if you have any problems. Contact me privately should you need that info once you get a successful installation.
