I have seen a Sonata (may be different from the Sonta font to which you refer) bundled with Electronic Arts' Deluxe Music Construction Set. Sonata is a PostScript font (here, a Mac file plus bitmaps) of music notation characters and symbols. While the Info window for the file gives no indication, I'm sure the file is copyrighted by somebody. Dave Brown St Olaf College

I do believe he's after the Sonata font. I belive he has the package that you mentioned but somehow he has misplaced font. Stephen Quan, Uni of Tas.

Henry I don't want to drag this out any further than is _absolutely_ necessary, but... "Sonata" is an "Adobe Original"--which refers to fonts that Adobe themselves have created or commissioned, as opposed to a face that they license. As such, it can be bought directly from Adobe (their order line in North America is 1-800-344-8335 -- this number works in Canada too, thank you Adobe) or from most other reliable PostScript font vendors (i.e. Font Company, Monotype, Linotype (<-sleezeball dinosaurs), etc.) If you don't want to deal with anyone directly, contact your nearest full-service output service bureau. We don't bite. cheers adam ======================================================================== Adam Smith Genius - Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy The Chameleon Papers Vancouver, BC CANADA "I'd give my eyeteeth to have a Macintosh--unfortunately, due to Apple's pricing policies, that's not enough" ========================================================================
