Sold By: Notation CentralThe Pori family of fonts is a derivative of Petaluma that is expressly reconfigured to work within Sibelius. Petaluma is a SMuFL-compliant music font family, designed by Anthony Hughes at Steinberg for Dorico, its scoring application.
Steinberg describes Petaluma as a font family with a handwritten appearance, in the style of the hand copyists for Sher Publishing’s Real Book series, Ernie Mansfield and Ann Krinitsky.
Because Sibelius does not support SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout), a series of derivative fonts needed to be created in order for Petaluma to be compatible with Sibelius. These fonts are:
Pori Std
Pori Text Std
Pori Special Std
Pori Special II Std
Pori Special Extra Std
Pori Ornaments Std
Pori Metronome Std
Pori Chords Std
Pori PlainChords Std
Pori Chords ASC Std
Pori Chords ASL Std
Pori Rehearsal Enclosed Std
Pori Rehearsal Overline Std
Pori Rehearsal Underline Std
Each Pori font is intended as a replacement for its analogous Opus font, with the exception of:
- Special II, which is an additional font containing Petaluma characters not found or easily replaced in Opus, such as precomposed octave clefs;
- The Rehearsal fonts, text fonts derived from Petaluma Script with built-in enclosures and semi-enclosures;
- Pori Chords ASC Std, an additional font to achieve chord symbols that place an altered bass note underneath an angled separator in a diagonal arrangement, like this:
Included along with the Pori fonts is a house style designed to take maximum advantage of Pori’s characteristics. It uses the Petaluma Script font as its main text font. You do not need the house style to use the Pori fonts.

Compatibility
Pori Chords ASC/ASL Std make use of some experimental features that are not yet fully supported in Sibelius.
The Pori Chords ASC/ASL Std fonts will only work in Sibelius 2018.11 and later. For best results it is highly recommended to use Sibelius 2019.5 or later.
Please read the documentation for other limitations.
For practical reasons, it was not possible to faithfully reproduce every symbol in Pori. Many of Sibelius’s symbols are actually composite symbols with intricate and tightly integrated positioning. Pori is, after all, a third-party font, and while we have tried our best to make it work as completely as possible, it is not as fully supported as the fonts that ship with Sibelius. If you have suggestions on how Pori can be improved, please contact us.

Pori derives its name from the coastal city in Finland which is home of Pori Jazz, a large international jazz festival held annually in July. Alex Freeman suggested the name.
Jeff Kellem of Slanted Hall Type Foundry created the Pori fonts, did all the heavy lifting porting Petaluma to Pori, contributed to the Pori house style, and was greatly influential in continuing to develop the Pori project.
Bernie Cossentino of Twin Page Productions invented the concept of the angled slash chord font, created the Pori Chords ASC Std font based on the Pori Chords Std font, and greatly contributed to the overall development of the chord symbol fonts.
Bob Zawalich and Robin Walker assisted with testing and feedback of the Pori fonts.
Petaluma was designed by Anthony Hughes of Steinberg Media Technologies.
Petaluma Script was designed by Daniel Spreadbury of Steinberg Media Technologies.
