1485.0. "Printing DMCS Scores on an LPS40" by HYDRA::AURENZ (Scot, DTN 226-6229, LTN 1-1/d07) Mon Jun 27 1988 13:49

    
	-------------------------------------------------------------    
    	Key Words:   DMCS,  Sonata font, Postscript, Score printing
	-------------------------------------------------------------    
    
    	I have DMCS (Deluxe Music Construcion Set) running on my
    	Mac Plus under System 4.2/Finder 6.0
    
    	I have been trying to print my scores using Postscript,
    	but am having a perplexing problem which neither the 
    	Electronic Arts people nor the Macintosh noters 
        have been to solve.         Help!
    
    	I am using the Apple Laserwriter driver and the "Command-f" trick
    	to produce a Postscript file of my scores. 
    
	I am also "Un-checking" the Font Substitution box, so that 
        (theoretically) all fonts used will be dumped in the Postscript 
        output file.
    
	This works fine for all fonts *EXCEPT SONATA*! For some reason,
    	the driver refuses to dump the bitmap images of the Sonata 24
        music font. Has anyone out there succeeded in doing this?
    	How is it done?

	It seemed like there was another note with several replies that discussed this problem in greater depth, but I can't find it now. Maybe it was in the Mac notes file? This exact problem was discussed in an article in the July issue of MacUser. Basically, there is a font numbering conflict with the Sonata fonts. It is distributed with both DMCS and ConcertWare (and probably others), but they used different font IDs for it. In some configurations it works, and in others the numbers get confused and the Mac dumps Geneva instead. I suggest you find the article--it tells how to fix the problem gives more details. -Mark
