HoraceWimp Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Is anybody successfully using the Sonata post script font under Logic 9.01 and OSX 10.6 ? I have major issues since I updated to Snow Leo, with Sonata activated and installed -> every click inside the score-editor needs 15 seconds and CPU-activity goes up to 100%. With Sonata disabled everything works fine. Any experiences, solutions, workaround ? Is this a known bug ? Thanks HW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gribit Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I've made a "test" for you... here too the Sonata fonts are acting very "slower" respect the Logic internal-fonts... However, I don't have to wait 15 second and I've not high CPU activity... but I'm on 8-core 3.0 Ghz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoraceWimp Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 hm , maybe you dont notice the problem because of 8core 3.0GHZ , i have 2,2GHz 2core. is there a thread named "fontd" appearing in CPU usage window with high CPU-load when you're working inside the score editor ? if not, i have a different, special problem. thanks hw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gribit Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi HW! ...new test: Yes. There is a thread called "fontd" in the CPU usage. With Sonata it takes: about 25%, with internal font: 0% So... I think you're right... I can't notice it too much 'cause I have an 8core (but... in this new test, I gave to it more attention... and I can feel a little delay moving notes around me too) ... Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoraceWimp Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 thank you very much for testing ! So it seems my Mac ist simply too slow to work with sonata in new Logic-versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A request: I've never been able to see the difference between the standard Logic font and Sonata font because, essentially, when the Sonata font is selected, the score gets all messed up (graphics glitches, like whole rests that are about 10x longer than they should be, and similar). So could either of you please post an example which exhibits some differences between the appearance of a passage using Sonata font and one that uses the standard Logic font? Just a small section of music (even something random) would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoraceWimp Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 here are two examples , standard logic font and sonata. It is a matter of taste , but for me sonata looks a bit smoother and more professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoraceWimp Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Oops , the images are appearing really big ....!? OK , the differences will be clear to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I scaled them down for you. They're still too big (per our guidelines) but in this case let's not worry about it. I really appreciate you posting these for me to see the difference. Now, you know what's really strange? I've never seen the score look like either of the examples you posted! To demonstrate, I re-created your passage on my system and posted a screenshot below. And this is with the external font parameter disabled. So what I see here is what I've always thought the 'standard' Logic score font should look like. Let's discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Couple of things... HW, could you please add your system info to your profile? Second... seems like both you guys are running Snow Leopard. I'm not (running plain ol' Leopard). Wondering if that explains why we're seeing a difference between the rendering of notation graphics between our systems. Maybe? Maybe not?

gribit Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ehi! In the second HW's picture, haven't you notice the 4/4 time signature? I think you've something not going well in your system HW... the right internal Logic font show the 4/4 as the one in the Ski's pictures! ...my score looks like yours, Ski... Maybe could help (just try) "rebuilding" the Logic's Preferences? (save your KeyCommands, first!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoraceWimp Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sorry - my fault !!! I made a mistake, my examples were created with the old 5.51 PC-version of Logic and the true type version of Sonata, because I thought that the internal fonts of Logic didn't change over the years - but now i notice , there is a big difference. As long as i remember i was always working with sonata on PC and MAC, so I never saw the internal font and wasn't aware of any differences and changes Now I made the same test on my Mac (mac mini 2.26GHz Snow Leopard 10.61, Logic 9.01) and here are the results. ( upper = Logic internal / lower = sonata ) Sorry for totally confusing you all, i was writing the post on my PC and was too lazy to switch on my Mac. It seems that sonata - as i expected - looks the same on PC and MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gribit Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Oh yes! There we are! Ski... -I've still to test this-... this morning, I open a song in 8.0.2 and I've selected the Sonata font... ...the score went all messed up! My 8.0.2 runs on my wife's MacBook... so I've removed the Sonata (I've thought there were corrupted) and I'll copy there, later, the version I got here on my MacPro... I've never used Sonata on L8... so, reading your post, I believe could be a Logic/Sonata "bug" on that version... (and not corrupted fonts, then). Anyway, I'll report it back tonight... P.S.: Speaking about font... if you have Jazz font, you maybe own the Swing too... Well! ...those seems not work anymore (maybe since L7)... if I select the Swing font nothing changes... as the internal font and the Swing would be the same font... could it be?

ski Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 @ gribit, I think there have been problems with the Sonata font for a while now. See: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=34522&highlight=score+pdf I'm sure there have been other posts about this too. @ HW, thanks for clarifying!

HoraceWimp Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 same problems in 9.02 no change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gribit Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 @ Horace Wimp: Confirm. (as I add staff after staff, also my macPro performance goes worse and worse!) It's better to leave the Sonata Font out of Logic (9.0.0 > 9.0.2) too! @ Ski: I give up 8) (I don't want to feel more upset! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
