WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO MY FINALE 2005A, REINSTALING DID NOT HELP. WINDOWS DID
NOT KNOW HOW TO FIND THE FILE (MAESTRO FONTS).
THE MANUAL AND THE EMAIL HELP FROM FINALE DID NOT WORK.
I FIXED THE PROBLEM BY GOING TO THE WINDOWS/FONTS DIRECTORY. THERE YOU WILL
FIND A SET OF MAESTRO FONTS. RIGHT BUTTON CLICK , CHOOSE PROPERTIES, AND
CHANGE THE FILE ASSOCIATION TO FINALE.
TRY THIS IF THE RE-INSTALL DOES NOT WORK.
