I have made an attempt to create a Goudy Old Style font for use in Finale in FontCreator 11.5. the font displays correctly, but when I print the music file to .pdf through AdobePro 2017, I get the following error codes:

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: GoudyOldStyleSmallCaps-Bold not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%

Stack:
/Font
(GoudyOldStyleSmallCaps-Bold)
true
/TT5FAt00

In the past I would have used the auto naming wizard to resolve the problem, but I do not see that in the current iteration.

Is there something in properties I have missed that is causing this error?

Just an educated guess, but it might be that the font name is too long.

Try GoudyOldStyleSmCp-Bold.

It does indeed appear that the name was too long.

After several failures, I chopped it down to Goudy-SmCap and also changed the version string in the Font revision field and was successful.

I am unsure whether it is the shorter name or the updated version string that made it work, but it IS working now.

Thank you for your help.

Try reverting to the previous longer name and see if it still works.

Is the font actually bold, or do you only have a regular font and try to use both a regular and faux bold version?
