The new release of Scribe has support for a PostScript font called Zapfdingbats, evidently at the behest of one Walt Haas in Utah. I would like to know what this is, where it is from, and if its not hardwired, how to get a hold of it if, it's useful. Does anyone out there in vacuum-land have a clue? ...ubc-vision!fornax!stevec **************************** this horrible angle of abuse and decay....

I've headr if both ways. -- Rich Straka ihnp4!ihlpf!straka Advice for the day: "MSDOS - just say no."
