[Framers] Zapf Dingbats

[Robert Lauriston]

Compare the maker.ini files, as I described before. That's probably
where the problem is.

If the font were not installed, you would not see it on screen in FM8,
so that's not the problem.

Is there a Zapf Dingbats file in your \Windows\Fonts folder? If so,
right-click on it. What does it show for "Type of file"?
