Problem

Solutions: This information is for the Distinctive Documents I cartridge only.

The Distinctive Documents I - Compelling Publications I cartridge for the HP LaserJet III family of printers includes four Zapf Dingbat fonts. Each Dingbat font has several different characters mapped to it. The four Dingbat fonts that come with the cartridge are as follows:
1.      ITC Zapf Dingbat (PS) (DD) - Lists all standard PostScript Zapf Dingbat characters along with additional characters in character positions 0 through 32.
2.      ITC Zapf Dingbat 100 (DD)
3.      ITC Zapf Dingbat 200 (DD)
4.      ITC Zapf Dingbat 300 (DD)
The 100, 200, and 300 series fonts all contain different characters in character positions 0 through 119 and contain the standard PostScript characters in positions 120 - 254.

The following steps list how to access the special characters in the different fonts:
1.      Retrieve the CHARMAP.TST file that ships with WordPerfect.
2.      Separate Character Map 12 from the rest of the document with a Hard Page break, (Ctrl-Enter).
3.      Choose the ITC Zapf Dingbat (PS) (DD) font and select a 10pt size.
4.      Print that page.
5.      Write the name of the chosen font on the paper that prints out.
6.      Delete the font code entered in step 3.
7.      Repeat steps 3 through 6 choosing each of the other three Dingbat fonts in turn.
The customer will then have one page of Dingbat characters printed for each of the fonts. These are reference sheets that the customer should use to access the Dingbat characters. Some characters will be the same on each of the pages.

To access the different characters in a document, the customer should select the Dingbat font that contains the desired character. Then the customer can use Compose (Ctrl-V) and enter 12 followed by a comma (,), followed by the character position of the desired character. The customer should use the reference sheets created above to determine the character position. A set of macros or keyboards could be created to access the fonts more quickly.
