Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

Which version of Windows are you running? Are you printing to a PostScript printer, if so which one? No one can give very precise advice without that information. On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 8:16 AM, Theresa de Valence wrote: > I've opened a (very) old document which uses Zapf

Don't install Adobe Type Manager! This program could wreck your computer's ability to properly handle fonts. Adobe had to issue a fix to repair computers where ATM was uninstalled. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/395626 On 6/30/2016 6:53 PM, Theresa de Valence wrote: Frame 7.2 CD did not

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

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. I eventually realized that does not mean the font is actually installed. I no longer have anything but 8 and 12 installed on this computer. Frame 7.2

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

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 FM12. In FrameMaker 6, the file for ZapfDingbats was in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

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

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

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. On Thu, Jun 30, 2016

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

Hmmm. I just found the Frame 8 CD and put in Disk 1 and chose the only thing that looked likely which was Autoplay.exe. It started the install shield wizard which gave me a beep and said Frame 8 was already installed on this system. How do I choose to install fonts only? (I can't see anything

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

If you see the font on screen in FM8, and it prints correctly, then I think it must be installed. If it's the old PostScript font, check that both the .pfm and .pfb files are installed. Close FM12, compare the maker.ini for FM8 and FM12, make a backup copy of the one for FM12, edit the original

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

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

Re: [Framers] Zapf Dingbats

I've heard recommendations to use Adobe Pi as a replacement. The document may be printing fine because of printer-resident versions of Zapf Dingbats on a Postscript printer. If you have a Postscript printer, and still have the installation disk, it probably has a copy of Zapf Dingbats that

[Framers] Zapf Dingbats and some other Type 1 fonts

There is a weird behaviour in FM2015 (Windows10) regarding some Type1 fonts. For a time FM has been rendering them correctly but lately I have experienced FM to suddenly and out of the blue stop showing the correct font and substituting it for a different one, still maintaining that it is the Zapf
