Wind Instrument Fingering fonts for Dorico

[dburnes66]

Help! I’m a former finale user who relied heavily on the MusicEd wind instrument fingering fonts. I am a new Dorico user and was wondering if there is a set of fonts available for Dorico? if the finale versions are compatible? how do I access them? if I need to purchase them where do I go? any information would be deeply appreciated
Sincerely,
Danny

Any Idea if anyone has them for brass instruments?

A quick web search turned this up. (I have no personal experience with this font):

Music Ed Fingerings

If you just want to use numbers for valved instruments:

Mimic brass fingering: font style

Dorico uses the glyphs in this range of Bravura: https://w3c.github.io/smufl/latest/tables/fingering.html You can create these in text by right-clicking in any Shift+X text item and choosing Insert Music Text, then picking them from the dialog.

The music Ed fonts are what I have. After. contacting the musicteachertools folks they are truetype which are compatible with Dorico which I did not know. I’ve just got to figure out how to access them in Dorico. Thank you for your help!
