Hello,
I just installed Finale v. 26.3.1.643 on my new laptop and, for some reason, out of all the text fonts, Cambria is missing, which is incidentally the very font that I need. Does anybody know how to solve this? I've already deleted and reinstalled Finale, but to no avail. I don't use Finale enough to justify upgrading to v. 27, so I'm hoping that there might be another solution to this. I've attached a screenshot to show what's going on: https://imgur.com/a/d60ud7H. When opening a new document (the one in the screenshot is a template I made), the Cambria font is completely missing.
If it helps, my laptop is running MacOS 12.0.1 on an M1 Pro chip.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Edit: I found the solution. It turns out my laptop didn't have the Cambria font files, so it wasn't even Finale's fault. Thank you to everyone who replied!

Cambria is not a Finale font (= not part of the Finale Font Pack).
The first letter in ‘Cambria’ is a C‘’.
Cambria is in the font pack that comes with Microsoft Word.
The other Word fonts are fonts like
Calibri
Candara
Comic Sans MS
Consolas
Constantia
Corbel
No need to list all the fonts; you get the idea: in all the font names the first letter is ‘C’.
I do not know how you got the Cambria font, but you can probably get it by installing Word - or the Word demo.

I'm not convinced by that 'vault'. I'm sure Microsoft would have their own download page if it was to be freely available. I've come across some other site that offers Cambria, and it was a considerably earlier version than current.
I tried downloading the Bodoni from that freefontsvault, and it was a motley assortment of typefaces. While there are some very good open source fonts now available, any font designed by a commercial foundry is unlikely to be legally offered for free on other sites.
