Does this happen to anyone else?

Setup:
open a default document
Add three notes
In the lyric window enter Fi-li-o
Make the font Garamond
Bold the 'Fi'
Assign the lyrics to the three notes
Click on the 'Type into Score' icon
Click on the note with 'Fi'

What shows up on your system? Then try it with 'Fi-' bolded.

I've been reporting this for at least 2 years, maybe more. Up to now, you're the only other person who has confirmed this. I am using 2014, and the same weirdness.

P.S.: I believe this began when they introduced Unicode support (or lack thereof).

Okay. "Lyrics Surprise Screen Shot" shows what one sees on screen. However, my "Lyrics Surprise" Graphics Tool image shows a different story, which leads me to believe the gibberish won't print.

I get Chinese characters when I do it. I can't tell what your results are. They look blurry. Thanks for verifying that I'm not mad.

Every time I did it, I got different characters. They look Chinese to me. Mine are overlapping in that screen shot, so they look blurred.

Anyway, it's a pain.

This is most interesting. I can reproduce these results on the Mac, too. I also get Chinese characters. This only seems to happen when one of the syllables has been made bold. However, I've discovered that if, when highlighting the syllable, you include the hyphen, this no longer happens. If you let Finale highlight a syllable (for example by selecting it in Type Into Score in the document itself), it always includes the following hyphen in the Lyrics window. Apparently, if you neglect to include the hyphen, change the font attribute, and then select it with Type Into Score, you'll get the inclusion of wild characters.
FWIW, they still haven't fixed the other mixed fonts bug. If you have a syllable with mixed fonts, like when you need a syllable to include an elision, copying this lyric will erase the font change. Selecting this syllable in the document using Type Into Score will entirely remove the character(s) in the other font. I'm reporting both issues to MM.

I now use the Finale Lyrics font for lyrics, and the elision is a character there, so I no longer have to mix fonts. I reported the Chinese character font issue over 2 years ago, but to no avail.
