Re: [Finale] Glyph issues with Aruvarb
Hi Steve, Thanks! The problem actually turned out to be a perfect storm of user error: 1) I was not aware that Unicode fonts, like Aruvarb, must NOT be added to MacSymbolFonts.txt or they will not display correctly. 2) I had Aruvarb included in the MacSymbolFonts.txt file in my MacHD/Library… folder, and since the font was working for me, I concluded that this meant the font SHOULD be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt. 3) But as it turns out, the MacSymbolFonts.txt I was looking at was actually being overriden by the MacSymbolFonts.txt in my user Library… folder — and in that version, Aruvarb was NOT included in the file. As a result of the above, I gave the incorrect instructions to my collaborator that the font needed to be included in MacSymbolFonts.txt, when in fact the opposite was true. My bad!

Re: [Finale] Glyph issues with Aruvarb
Hello Darcy, This sound very familiar. Make sure both of you have the same setup... 1. Preference>Open - "Clean Up File Data" UnChecked 2. Preference>Open - "Text Conversion" Everything unchecked. 3. Preference>Edit - "Substitute Font for Missing Unicode Characters" UnCheck. These three things are the biggest problem with collaboration. If it doesn't help, let me know. I'm pretty good with resolving these conflicts. Good luck, Steve Fiskum From: Finale on behalf of Darcy James Argue Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2018 3:03 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] Glyph issues with Aruvarb Hello list, Am I right that that there are others on this list who are using Aruvarb (Jan Angermüller’s adaptation of Bravura for Finale) as their music font? If so, could I ask about a strange problem I have encountered? I’m sharing files using Aruvarb with a collaborator. I’m using the most recent OTF version of Aruvarb — this version of the font is billed as Windows-only — it is missing the characters in slots 129-159 in macOS — but other than that it works for my purposes, as those characters are duplicated in other slots. My collaborator has installed the same version of Aruvarb on his iMac, but when he opens my Finale files, most of the glyphs show up as a boxed “?”. We are both running Finale v25.5 on macOS. Curiously, the glyphs do display correctly on his laptop, but not on his iMac. The glyphs also show up correctly in Finale 2014.5 on both machines. We have tried: - adding Aruvarb to the MacSymbolFonts.txt file - removing the OTF version of Aruvarb and installing the TTF version - clearing the macOS font cache from the Terminal, then restarting the iMac - reinstalling Finale We have also tried removing this version and installing the older, deprecated version of Aruvarb available from the elbsound site, which is supposed to be fully macOS compatible. When we do, we have the opposite problem — most glyphs show up correctly for my collaborator, but on my MacBook Pro, many symbols are mapped incorrectly. For instance, on my system, glyph #250, which is supposed to be the half note glyph, is a parenthesized downbow-upbow pair. I vaguely recall having this problem when I first installed Aruvarb, but for the life of me I cannot recall what I did to fix it. It’s also very mysterious that the glyphs display correctly on my collaborator’s laptop but not his iMac — both are running the same OS (macOS 10.12.6) and the same version of Finale. Any assistance or insight would be greatly appreciated!
