hi sorry if this is slightly off-topic but to convert fully to linux audio i need to be able to use notation - i've seen some of the open source notation packages and none of them are up to the level of Finale yet. i'm trying out finale 2000 on the WINE emulator for Linux on Redhat9. I have put a copy of the maestro.ttf font into an X11 directory and pointed my .wine/config file to that directory so now i have the font showing up in finale. My problem is all the little buttons in the simple entry panel are black instead of showing up note/duration symbols - most of the other buttons in the other entry panels are showing up ok. any linux/wine/finale users out there??? are the symbols on these buttons connected to maestro.ttf? - reports of any experiences with using finale within WINE would be greatly appreciated especially with regards to getting the midi .dll side of things up and running. thanks, rob canning -- robcanning <rscanning@xxxxxxxxxx> www.robcanning.utvinternet.com
