I just looked in the instrument.txt file and the ensemble.txt and the
violins are all listed with roman numerals. The violoncello is listed
as simply "cello" but I suppose you could edit those files (probably
best to make copies first in case you need to revert) and edit that.
As to why they are appearing with arabic numerals instead of roman
numerals, only those at MakeMusic can answer. It is particularly
puzzling because in those two files, they are listed differently than
they appear onscreen.
There is a file called gpoinstrument.txt which you could make a copy of
and then edit to change those arabic numerals to roman numerals, and
change "cello" to "violoncello."
It is indeed curious that this Garritan Personal "Orchestra" wouldn't
observe long-standing orchestral traditions.
But hopefully this can provide you with a way out of your dilemma.
Just be sure to have backup copies of the original files before you edit
them.

The GPO issue is worse than I thought. If I create a string quartet, the
instruments are called Violino 1, Violino 2, Viola, Cello. They should
be called Violin I, Violino II, Viola, Violoncello.
That's three out of four wrong, by any European Standard. How do I
change this. It amazes me the the wizard needs me to set up a special
GPO thing to be able to use GPO. It should be smart enough to assign
instruments according to my choice of parts which I make with the
instrument.txt file (which I obviously change to use Italian names,
which MM still hasn't managed to do, even though I know of no European
style score of classical music that uses anything but Italian names,
certainly not English names)!
I cannot believe this at all. This is a huge step backwards.

1) I can't get the wizard to recognize my default file. I renamed MM's
default file, and copied my own one into the Components directory. It is
called "Maestro Font Default", just like MM's, before it was renamed.
Everytime I get to the last page of the wizard it tells me it cannot
find the Default file and creates a file without libraries. Can I not
use my own default file?
2) If I use the wizard with the GPO option, is it really true that I
have to use the GPO instruments as part names? I want my violins called
"Violino I" and "Violino II", not "Violino 1" and "Violino 2".
This one seems to me to be completely stupid. If this is the case, I
have about had it with FinGPO.
