Hello, I have Dorico 5.0.20 — the most recent version running on a Mac. I went to Library>Music Fonts but only Bravura and Petaluma are listed. I thought Dorico 5 installed additional music fonts. What am I doing wrong?
According to the notes to the Dorico 5.0.20 update notes (p 46), “Dorico 5… now installs eight new music font families:”
Listed are the fonts Finale Ash, Broadway, Jazz, and Maestro, Golden Age, Leipzig, Leland, and Sebastian. Then the update notes say, “To try out a different music font in your project at any time, choose one from Library Music Fonts.” However, when I look in Library>Music Fonts, all I find are Bravura and Petaluma.
The fonts will only be listed if the JSON files are installed in /Library/Application Support/SMuFL/Fonts/
(NB: this is the root level Library folder, not the user library folder.)
Check that you have folders and files there for Sebastian, Finale Maestro, Leland, GoldenAge, etc.
Also, check that you have the additional text fonts installed on your system: Nepomuk, Academico, etc. (E.g. are they listed in FontBook.)
These fonts should be installed when you install Dorico, so if not, something has gone wrong, and you should re-install Dorico.
