MORE INFORMATION

If Windows 95 is installed first and Finale is installed afterwards, Finale works properly until Windows 95 is restarted. The incorrect font specification problem surfaces when Windows 95 restarts and tries to read the fonts.

If you upgraded an existing copy of Windows or Windows for Workgroups to Windows 95, and Finale was already installed, manual installation of the fonts is required.
