I get that too on Windows 7. I have been thinking of contacting the font 
maker of the font about that, but I always forget... (The Oslo and 
Stockholm fonts lists correctly, it's only Vienna that has this problem, 
btw.)

YES! This issue is very important that you fix (for any music notation 
font that you use in Finale), and I believe it's also in the 
installation instructions for the Vienna font.

On Windows 7, MacSymbolFonts.txt is available at:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale 2012\Configuration Files

The file is read-only by default, so turn off the read-only status 
before you add the font name to the list.

Don't do any editing of the Finale document until this message is gone, 
specially important on 2012.

Yes, it's very small. I think the aesthetics comes from the 19th century 
solo instrumental music, or something like that.
