Zapf Dingbats mystery

Sorry, I should have suggested an alternative course of action. This
typeface is available from Adobe in PostScript Type 1 ($26) and OpenType
($29) versions ( http://tinyurl.com/bjumrf).

Also, it's included in the Adobe Type Basics package (PS and OT
versions, both $99), which includes the 35 "standard" PS typefaces built
into most PS printers, plus 30 more (http://tinyurl.com/bnoshl). It's a
terrific bargain, which I recommend highly. For one thing, this package
"miraculously" resolves about 70% of the "missing font" messages
FrameMaker users have (which are caused by using a font avaiable on a
specific PS printer, but not installed on your system). 

Note: Adobe's type licenses generally permit use on up to five
computers, so you don't have to spend $100 for each person in your tech
pubs group. If you buy a Type Basics package for 3 people, it works out
to about 50 cents per person per typeface.
