Neither the LaserWriter IIf nor the LaserWriter IIg contain Zapf
Dingbats built into ROM. True, the printers contain 35 fonts, but
one of the 35 is an ``EmulatorFont'', which replaced Zapf Dingbats
in the current incarnation of these printers. Note that the Users
Manual for the IIf and IIg categorically states that Zapf Dingbats
are a part of the resident font set, but a simple program to print
the list of resident fonts disproves this claim.
You have to download Dingbats, either ahead of time, or with the job.
