Re: [Finale] Opening old file (Newport font)
I've been with the company nearly 7 years, and I've never seen the box. My understanding is that we stopped selling it 2 or 3 years before I got here.

Re: [Finale] Opening old file (Newport font)
Dear Hiro, I have eliminated this font from my most of my files, but I still keep it in the classic system folder for use in older files. Here's a copy. I hope it helps.

Re: [Finale] Opening old file (Newport font)
Dear Hiro, Newport is abandoned and only works in classic. I have replaced the falls and doits in all active files with articulations from the Jazz font. The Jazz Font shapes are a little too heavy for my taste, but they are the best I can do at the moment. If you create some suitable shapes, especially if you are able to get the handles placed so that the shapes are automatically placed, I'd sure appreciate your sending them along. I wish I could be more helpful.

Font Bank certainly won't read it as far as I see, and I don't have Classic env. I am on windows, but because of my interest in fonts in general, have some interest in this. I understand that there are, or at least used to be, utilities which could take a legacy Mac font, and convert it to the current standard, which IIRC, is also the same standards used in Windows. Assuming one has the appropriate permissions, I assume from CODA, one could use this utility to modify the Newport Font to work in the current MAC environment. I fear, though, I'll have to refer any questions on this, including what packages have the capability, and even if it works at all (I've been mistaken twice before, though once was when I thought I was wrong, and wasn't) to one the fonts newsgroups, perhaps alt.binaries.mac.fonts or comp.fonts. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I found those JazzFont scoops, falls, doits, etc., too heavy as well, so I reduced the point size of some of them to 20 or 22, from 24. That helped a whole bunch. I also didn't like the shape of the jazz grupetto (turn), so I substituted the tilde ~ character from Apple Chancery 28 bold, which matches everything quite well and looks better to my eye. I wish I could do the same for some other characters. Christopher ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I used a few of them quite often such as 'fall', now I have to create them in shape for replacement. As I recall, Newport was/is a Type 3 font (not Type 1) and was often problematic in its day like most other type 3 fonts were. There is little doubt that you will have some problems on the current systems. I think the only solution (if you must use Newport) is to convert to a Type 1 variety before you try and make use of it. Good luck with this. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
