4788.0. "help with printing al lthe zapfdingbats in PPage to an HP IIIp??" by MEO78B::MANDERSON (Amiga + '030 == MicroCRAY) Sat Jun 01 1991 22:46

    Hi,
    
    I am using Ppage V2.0 and want to use some of the ZapfDingbats and to
    print them out on my HP IIIp (with postscript). I have printed a font
    cataloger and all the dingbats print out fine.  
    
    For what it is worth anyone else having problems will need to do a file
    edit on fonts:zapfdingbats.metric  and uppercase the Z and D in the 3
    occurances ofzZapfdignbats. 
    
    Now I come to the real problem.
    
    I can output all the characters that are formed from the standard
    keyboard. If I use the Alt chars (eg Alt s for a stylised arrow) it
    indicates on screen correctly but prints as a space. I have looked at
    the PS code and the output has (\337) show - I have tried all sorts of
    edits around this but no joy. 
    
    Anyone got any ideas on how to print all the dingbats??
    
    regards
    kevin
