[] (Those of who who don't have ZapfDingbats in PS, skip all this...) From: kibo@pawl17.pawl.rpi.edu (James Parry) Path: pawl17.pawl.rpi.edu!kibo I have a little question here for those who you who have actually used the PS font called ZapfDingbats. Clearly, some of the dingbats will be more "useful"/"popular" than others. Now, what I'm wondering, is which ones actually get used the most? If you'd like to participate in my little survey, please send me a list of either the ASCII numbers, or the descriptions of, the dingbats that you've actually found uses for. Once I think I've collected all the responses, I'll post a brief summary to the net... this question intrigues me. :-) ----------- Kibo (Jim Parry) userfe0n%mts.rpi.edu@itsgw.rpi.edu userfe0n@rpitsmts.bitnet or wox me on AmonNet!

It will be interesting just to see some of the descriptions of the dingbats. Do they actually have names? Anybody interested in making up a list of names for these little jobbies? Maybe we could have a contest! ;-) -- Joe Maybee | ...tektronix!pogo!maybee (503)-685-3572 | Register engineers, Tektronix, Inc., P.O. Box 1000, MS 63-356 | NOT GUNS! Wilsonville, OR 97070 |

Well, they're cute, but how do I get them rotated, reversed, or whatever I need, to use them? I mean, pointing fingers need to point more than the few directions provided... If you've got this one figure out please let me (us?) know. keith Keith Ericson at TekLabs (resident factious factotum) Tektronix, PO 500, MS 58-383 Beaverton OR 97077 (503)627-6042 UUCP: [uunet|ucbvax|decvax|hplabs]!tektronix!tekgvs!keithe ARPA: keithe%tekgvs.TEK.COM@RELAY.CS.NET CSNet: keithe@tekgvs.TEK.COM
