Problem

Solutions: In order to make ITC Zapf Dingbat characters, you should have the ITC Zapf Dingbat font selected. You can go into Ctrl-F8 and select Base Font and then select the ITC Zapf Dingbat and it will ask you what point size you want and then you can select the point size.

When you do select a dingbat font and use regular text, the .PRS file will look for a substitute font and print the text out in that font. It will not print the text in a dingbat font. Only characters will print out in the dingbat font. If you go into the PTR program and look at a dingbat font, you will see only character set 12 as being mapped, and not all of those are mapped. In order to see what these characters are, you will need to print them out. You can use the CHARMAP.TST or compose them and print them out.

There are only a handful of printers which have dingbats as built-in fonts. Bitstream has a Symbols 1 typeface which you can go into the fontware installation program and create dingbats. The same principle applies to the mapping of these characters as it does to the built-in fonts. The mapping is not all the same in the built-in fonts as it is with the soft font, so you would have to determine what the characters are by printing them out and attaching these characters to the WordPerfect manual.

A list of printers which have built-in dingbats are included. There are 4 .ALL files that have printers capable of doing Dingbats. These .ALL files and .PRS files are listed.
