The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: This information is for printers that have only one dingbat font.

When printing Zapf Dingbat fonts in WordPerfect 5.1, users do not need an additional driver. Dingbat fonts are already included in the regular WP 5.1 printer drivers. To get Zapf Dingbats to work with PostScript printers, customers must use the Compose feature. The manual cannot show these fonts because they can vary from printer to printer; however, the user may obtain a printout of the characters by printing character set 12 in the CHARMAP.TST file.

To do this, have the customer do the following:
1.      Select the PostScript printer
2.      Retrieve CHARMAP.TST
3.      At the top of the document, select Courier 10 as the font
4.      Go to character map 12
5.      Print the page

The user should select Courier 10 as the font, not Zapf Dingbat. Zapf Dingbat in any size is a proportionally spaced font and will not line up under the numbers. Courier 10 is a fixed pitch font, which uses Zapf Dingbats as a substitute font, and therefore, lines up correctly. Suggest that the customer keep the printout for future reference. One user was able to get the characters to align with an 11.5pt Zapf Dingbat font.
