[comp.laser-printers] ZapfDingBats

Hi,

   We have a postscript file that does not get
   printed on our DEC LPS20 laser printer due to
   lack of 'ZapfDingBats'.  The same file prints
   fine on our QMS laser writers.  Can someone
   tell me how I can fix this ?  Thank you very
   much.  Please also e-mail your responses, if
   you don't mind.  I will be grateful for any
   suggestions/directions.

Suresh

ZapfDingBats is a commercial font.  If your printer doesn't have it and
you want to print the font then you'll have to purchase the font for your
printer.  Another option is to do a global search-and-replace on
'ZapfDingBats' (replace with the font-name of your choice) in your file.
