Configuring MacSymbolFonts.txt

Each Finale installation includes a file named MacSymbolFonts.txt. This file can be edited to address two different situations:

• Sharing files between a Mac and a Windows machine, Finale uses this file on the Mac to determine which fonts, such as music symbol fonts, should not be converted.
• Using custom music or symbol fonts, you will need to add these fonts to the list.

To edit the MacSymbolFonts text file

1. Quit Finale.
2. Navigate to the Configuration Files folder (see Finale Installation Details).
3. Open the MacSymbolFonts.txt file in a text editor such as WordPad or SimpleText.
4. Add each font name to the font list on its own line.
