Hey everyone. So in my school's jazz band, we use Hal Leonard charts. I've always liked the look of their scores, and after an extensive search, I have realized that the now-defunct AshMusic, LeeMusic, and RussMusic fonts are integral to the design. Though I would be totally willing to pay for the fontset (despite being a poor student :D ), the seller is not around anymore! If anyone would please be willing to share these old fonts with me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I hope you're able to get copies of these fonts. They're some of the nicest hand copied fonts out there. Be aware of the fact that they were withdrawn from sale some 10-12 years ago because they stopped working in the latest Finale versions (2006 or so). The people who sold them were not willing or able to recompile the fonts to be usable with Finale. It can still be done, but takes someone with the necessary font expertise.

Hal Leonard uses a modified and recompiled version of the Ash font. It is their property and would be impossible to lay your hands on.
