FM7 and Zapf Dingbats: Solved
I've fixed the issue. The solution has been writing the character needed in the FM document with the desired font, copy it and pasting in the Autonumber field of the Paragraph format window. Thank you all for the suggestions and informations. Davide Piva ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats
There was some kind of Zapf Dingbat fix released years ago, but I'm a fairly consistent upgrader so I haven't looked for it for maybe a decade or more. Look at the FM updates pages...

Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats
The Zapf Dingbats fix I remember was for FM8, when the switch to Unicode broke all that stuff. I don't recall FM 7.2 having any special issues with Zapf.

Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats
You can't just paste the character in that field. You need to look up the hex code or key sequence in the FrameMaker 7 FrameMaker Character Sets (Windows) PDF. Be sure to use the FM7 version of that doc and not a later version. There may be other issues with the font installation. The last time I had trouble with Zapf Dingbats, the problem was that only one of the two files required for a PostScript Type 1 font was installed. I'm not sure that the OpenType version will work with FM7. On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 1:25 AM, Davide Piva davide.p...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Framers.

RE: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats
If I recall correctly (and it has been quite a few years since I last used FM7), I believe that FM7 was the last version that did not support Unicode and therefore required you to use decimal character numbers rather than the hex codes that Unicode uses. But either way, it is 100% correct that you cannot just paste special characters into the Autonumber dialog because most FrameMaker dialogs only accept characters that can be typed directly on a standard keyboard. Anything else requires the use of a multi-key sequence that is escaped with an initial backslash. -Fred Ridder Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:24:53 -0700 Subject: Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats From: rob...@lauriston.com To: davide.p...@gmail.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com You can't just paste the character in that field.

Hello Framers. I'm having problems with FM 7.2 on WXP Pro and Zapf Dingbats font. I'm building a serie of bulleted lists and I want to use the arrow and other symbols.

Davide, You need to create a character tag that defines everything As-is except for Font = Zapf Dingbats, and then apply that Character Format to the Autonumber in the Pgf designer.

Re: FM7 and Zapf Dingbats
It could be that you have not added wherever the fonts are stored to the FrameMaker Font path. IIRC, in 7.2 there was an option under FilePreferences that allowed you to specify the path(s) that FM would look for the font files. You can also edit the maker.ini file directly to add the path.
