(Sorry if .lang implies this is the wrong group, feel free to redirect
any follow-ups).

Using an Apple LaserWriter IIf, any attempts to print Dingbats result in
Courier.  The power-up page says that the printer contains 35 fonts, and
therefore, I assumed, Zapf-Dingbats (ref comp.fonts FAQ).

Any ideas why I am not getting the correct font?   Postscript test program
follows:
%%
0 setlinecap 0 setlinejoin
0 0 translate 1 1 scale
%
/Zapf-Dingbats findfont 12 scalefont setfont
249 329 moveto
0 setgray
(Dingbats) show
