Can someone help me? I'm looking for the sonata font for postscript. I'm doing some musical research and want a postscript font that I could print musical scores with. Mail me or post if you think someone else might care. Thanks in advance... Chris Chimelis chimelis@refuge.colorado.edu ...ncar!boulder!refuge!chimelis chimelis%boulder@colorado.bitnet

Sonata is a commercial font sold by Adobe. It wouldn't be polite (or legal) to give it away. It can be purchased rather cheaply by university types, however. Try calling Adobe toll free at 1-800-344-8335. There are other fonts available for the same purpose (such as the Petrucci font that Coda packages inside Finale for the Macintosh) , but I'm not aware of any postscript music font that is publically available. Does anyone else know of any publically available font? Once again, sorry for my outburst. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon W.

Excuse me for asking. I wasn't aware that sonata was a commercial font. It was hinted to me (from various people around here) that it might be available free. Excuse me for asking around. I don't think that I would have posted if I knew it was commercial so don't jump on my back! chris

I really appreciate it. Don't worry about the outburst. I've been under a bit of strain lately myself and am prone to do the same. Once again, thanks for the number (I really needed that). As per your question, I believe Sun has some fonts that are available for free. I'm not sure so don't hold me to it. They have a nice one that we have under NeWS that is a full Japanese font. It's great. Full character set and more. If you find anything out about free fonts, let me know. Thanks. Chris Chimelis
