Speeding up FM 7.2 Startup

[Dov Isaacs]

The AdobePiStd font is a substitution font for ITC Zapf
Dingbats used by the PDF Library and by Acrobat when 
PDF files call for ITC Zapf Dingbats but do not have it
installed. In the case of FrameMaker, it may be necessary
when PDF files are imported into FrameMaker. 

It should NOT be removed as part of any expedient for
faster FrameMaker loading.
