font change not appearing in Autonumber

[Robert Lauriston]

I was trying to avoid having to change anything in the documents. If I
were going to edit the styles, I'd just use the bullet building block.

Eventually I figured out that the fundamental problem was that the
docs department's master font directory had only one of the two files
required to install the Type 1 version of ZapfDingbats.
