I'd like to second Marcello's request. The font substitution feature in Finale is not reliable. Fonts will get 'stuck' in expressions or text blocks or randomly in some things and not in others. And the replacement of fonts with similar names also seems to fail.
Anyone with a plug-in to do this correctly? Even by category of element (all text blocks, all expressions, all lyrics...)? Changing fonts by hand is a nightmare with the font bug that appeared in expressions in FinWin2010 (and remains in 2011). Finale checks the font list for every character typed, and with 4,000+ fonts installed, it's at least a 2-minute task to create or edit any expression. It takes 30 seconds just to get the edit dialog to appear.
