Yes, that was a typo in copying the extract from my PS program.  The 'real'
program used ZapfDingbats, but did not work because this font is NOT built
in to the IIf, it is now shipped as a TrueType font on a Mac diskette.

My initial confusion came from trying to use a IInxt manual with a IIf
printer...

Thanks to the many more people who responded by E-mail.  Several people sent
useful PS programs for listing the installed fonts etc.
