ITC Zapf Dingbats is NOT a font provided by either Microsoft as part of Windows or by Adobe as part of FrameMaker, Acrobat, or any other current product. You need to license it separately. - Dov -Original Message- From: J. Paul Kent Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 4:29 AM

Yup, it's still there! C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT However, it has never been a font management scheme but rather a caching mechanism for the Windows font renderer. Deleting that file and rebooting every so often apparently solves the problem of missing runs of characters when printing

Dov Isaacs' very helpful recommendations. 10. Everything works fine again. So this worked for me to have two versions of Acrobat next to each other on the same pc, but I understand that playing around with the Adobe PDF printer instance can be tricky
