I don't want to drag this out any further than is _absolutely_ necessary, 
but...
"Sonata" is an "Adobe Original"--which refers to fonts that Adobe themselves 
have created or commissioned, as opposed to a face that they license.
As such, it can be bought directly from Adobe (their order line in North 
America is 1-800-344-8335 -- this number works in Canada too, thank you 
Adobe) or from most other reliable PostScript font vendors (i.e. Font 
Company, Monotype, Linotype (<-sleezeball dinosaurs), etc.)

If you don't want to deal with anyone directly, contact your nearest 
full-service output service bureau. We don't bite.

cheers
