Sorry, if I said that I mis-spoke. When highlighting the character that
does not display correctly, CTRL-D shows the family to be ZapfDingbats.

You said that you have FM8 and FM12 on the same system, and that the
font displays correctly in FM8. If both those are true, the font is
installed in Windows, and the problem is that something's different

In FrameMaker 6, the file for ZapfDingbats was in C:\Program

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
Then it's probably a PostScript Type 1 font somewhere else on your
system. Search for Zd__.pfb or Zd__.pfm. The Adobe Type
Manager default location used to be c:\psfonts\pfm. They could also be
in a Font directory under an Adobe application directory in Program
Files.

No, my fonts folder has no Zapfdingbats.

Is there a Zapf Dingbats file in your \Windows\Fonts folder? If so,
right-click on it. What does it show for
PostScript printers with resident fonts were standard in the Mac world
but never caught on in the PC / Windows market.
Windows versions of FrameMaker 7 and earlier came with Adobe Type

Hmmm. I just found the Frame 8 CD and put in Disk 1 and chose the only

Right. I believe that the Character Designer is designed to list fonts that are
specified in your document even if they are not installed on your system. There
used to be (and may still be--I haven't looked lately) a couple of options for

Yes, but I was looking at the Character Designer and it "says" the font
is Dingbats. I realize now that it doesn't mean Dingbats is installed.
But I've moved since I got that CD!
Thanks.
Since it is not built into the Adobe PDF printer, I'd say the reason for THAT
was licensing fees.

Are FM8 and FM12 on the same system?
Which Windows version(s)?
Are you printing to a PostScript printer, if so which one and what
driver are you using?
The Unicode version of ZapfDingbats won't solve this problem since the
character map is different. Adobe Pi does not have the same set of
glyphs
Many thanks to all for the speedy response.

The PDF may have been installed with the software; you just have to hunt around

I have Zapf Dingbats available in my Frame 8 installation. How do I get
them to Frame 12?

Many people would argue with the reason you give for the "Base 14" PostScript
fonts not being bundled with applications after a certain time. The official
reason given by most software publishers was that the PostScript outline and
metrics files were required to be built into all PostScript comp
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
FrameM
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

An interesting aspect of Creative Cloud is the ability to retain older versions
when updates occur. (I assume this is still true.) It seems to me that a great
way to "sell" the subscription version of FM (or better yet, Creative Suite)
would be to allow installation of whatever older versions yo

Thanks for the useful follow-up, David.
I don't have the link to the complete list of FrameMaker keyboard shortcuts
handy, but perhaps you or someone else on the list has it and can post it.
IIRC, there are also some of KB commands that aren't documented, or that
were dropped in later compilations

After saving all open files, you can then close all files using the same
