A friend of mine had a similar trouble with combination of Finale 2.0 and
KanjiTalk, Japanese Script System, so I invented binary patches to Finale 2.0
to make it display and print Japanese characters sanely and it has been
working fine so far.  The patches do not change Finale 100% ScriptManager
compatible, but make it recognize a double byte character if
the text font number is >= $4000 and it sees a byte >= $80 followed
by another byte.  My understanding is that Japanese, Korean and Chinese
systems have these common characteristics so it should work for the others too.

Sorry that I cannot describe the patches here since I don't have the memo
at hand now.  E-mail me if you want to get it. I will post it to the net
if more than a handful of people want the information.

BTW, western software developers should learn to pay attention to
Script Manager in IM-V and then your products sell worldwide.
