If you don't have a PC or a friend near you that could save you some money. (2) Bismark free soundfont player also opens any soundfont on the Mac: http://homepage.mac.com/bismark/downloads.html But it just plays them. He has a pay version which I don't know if you can save it in a different format and open it in EXS. I could open sound fonts directly in EXS until version 6.xx the way it is described in the manual. I wonder what has been changed since.
