[Framers] Zapf Dingbats

[Craig Ede]

Use unicode fonts; most modern fonts are unicode. A lot of glyphs are now available in standard fonts that weren't in thefonts before.


Also, purchasing Zapf Dingbats can't be that expensive. I found a copy of the Helvetica, Times and Zapf Dingbat fonts that Adobe no longer includes with FrameMaker in an old copy of Illustrator or Pagemaker that I had.  I ran the installer and just chose to use those fonts. These fonts are likely to not include glyphs in the more modern versions of the same fonts.


The reason those fonts are no longer included is that they are not Adobe fonts and had to be licensed from somebody else.

Subject: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

I've opened a (very) old document which uses Zapf Dingbats which are not
on my current system. The document prints correctly from Frame 12, but
the screen display is gobbledygook.

What do people use for these fonts nowadays?

Thanks,
Theresa
