Maybe I'm missing something?

Here is an old pdf, how it should look like:

And here how it looks in Finale 27.4:

I noticed the same thing with an older score in which I had used Engraver Time for the large time signatures. Was not an issue before-usually this happens when I'm using a SMuFL music font and specified a non-SMuFL font for other elements. More recently, I don't use Engraver Time-I have standardized on a different font (in my case, London Tube) for text, time signatures etc, and that doesn't generate the question marks.

But that still begs the question: why is Engraver Time not recognized by F27.4?

I'm going to file a bug report and you should too.

Yes, it's about the handling of the Engraver font. It was not an issue before Sonoma, I hoped they'd fix that, I'm very disappointed.

Can you send me a link please for bug reports?

Yup, I got something similar today as well. I have largely standardized on a different font anyway; this was an older version of a score and happened to notice the issue. Thanks.
