I'm a bit confused here. I understand the fact that the 2012 FAN editor 
doesn't support characters above 255, and that's a bug in Finale 2012 
(since they didn't expand the editor to allow the Unicode range).

But characters occupying slots 257 and 259 would NOT be possible to use 
in Finale 2011 or earlier versions at all. So you would not be able to 
see or use these characters in pre-2012 versions. Pre-2012 versions 
could only support characters within the 0-255 range.

I don't have Bill Duncan's fonts so I can't test myself, but this issue 
doesn't sound logical to me.


Best regards,
