We're finally trying to access the new fonts available on the Apple LaserWriter Plus (yeah, we're a bit on the slow side :-). We use ditroff with Adobe's Transcript 2.0 package for most of our text processing. I've got most of the fonts working but the one that I *really* want, ZapfDingbats, doesn't work. When I run the AFM file through afmdit.awk, the only characters that got placed into the ditroff font description file are the space characters and a bunch of fraction characters. None of the good stuff like arrows and scissors were defined. I think the problem is that all the characters in the font are named a1, a2, a20, etc. Has anyone gotten this font to work with Transcript already? If so, please drop me a line on how to do it. Thanks in advance. Conrad
