[Framers] Zapf Dingbats

[Robert Lauriston]

The font must be installed since it appears in FM8. The question is
why it's not appearing in FM12 on the same system.

The Type 1 font files are Zd______.pfb and Zd______.pfm.

Later versions of FrameMaker have a tendency to create multiple copies
of maker.ini. Usually the one with the most recent file date is the
current one.

PPD files are printer drivers.
