Converting older font to SMuFL

Dorico
1

Greetings,
My primary client uses a font created in house for Finale. It was originally created in the late 1990s. I managed to get it limping along fine into Finale 25, but now with an impending switch to Dorico it’s not going to work at all (at least I don’t think so, please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m looking for some general information about getting this font converted to a SMuFL standard - price, time, if there’s even anyone who does this sort of thing. I don’t have the time or inclination to learn how to do it since I’d probably only do it once in my lifetime. I am encouraging my client to consider changing to an existing, working font, but they are very tied to the look of their product. Thanks for any input you may have.

Thanks Ben!

Hi Sean, yes I’ve done several of these custom font conversions recently for a couple publishers, tag-teaming with Ben. :sunglasses: I’ll PM you.
