Problems with ZapfDingbats font in FM 5.5.6 and Distilling

Here is my version info: FM 5.5.6 and Distiller 5.0. 

ZapfDingbats font were appearing fine in my FM file until I began the distilling process (i.e., when I selected Acrobat Distiller as the printer). Now they don't display at all and there is no font substitution. There is a message saying the font information has changed. 

I tried distilling the .ps file and get the following error: 

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%% 

Stack: 
/Font 
/ZapfDingbats 
false 
/2 
0.8533 
/F37 
false 
/ZapfDingbats 
/ 

Here is some additional info: I didn't know that ZapfDingbats was already installed on my computer in the Distiller Resources folder. I installed ZapfDingbats again in the PSFONTS and the PFM folders. Come to think of it, this is how the font was made available to FrameMaker (it wasn't when it resided in the Distiller Resources folder). Could this be goofing it up? 

How can I make FM again display the font (it still is listed in the Format > Fonts list), and how can I get the .ps file to distill to PDF?  

Please help! Thank you in advance.
