Configuring MacSymbolFonts.txt

If you are sharing files between a Macintosh and a Windows machine, Finale uses this file on the Macintosh to determine which fonts, such as music symbol fonts, should not be converted. If you are using custom music or symbol fonts, you will need to add these fonts to the list. To edit the MacSymbolFonts text file, you should quit Finale, then open the MacSymbolFonts file in a text editor such as WordPad or SimpleText.

The MacSymbolFonts.txt file is located in the MakeMusic/Finale 2012/Configuration Files folder. See Finale Installation Details.

Each Symbol Font name appears in the font list within Finale, followed by a carriage return.
