LaserWriter II Fonts 1 Disk: Zapf Dingbats Incorrectly Named


When printing to the Apple LaserWriter IIf or Apple LaserWriter IIg from a
Macintosh using System 7 and the LaserWriter 7.0 driver, the system will
not download the Zapf Dingbats PostScript font that comes on the
"LaserWriter II Install 4.0" disks. These disks come with the Apple
LaserWriter IIg and Apple LaserWriter IIf.

The problem with the Zapf Dingbats font on the LaserWriter II Fonts 1 disk (one
of the "LaserWriter II Install 4.0" disks) is that the Postscript file is named
incorrectly to be temporarily downloaded by the LaserWriter driver. The
filename as it appears on the disk is "Zapf Dingbats." For the font to be
downloaded by the LaserWriter driver, the downloadable Postscript file needs to
be called "ZapfDin". Note: The incorrect name doesn't interfere with the
LaserWriter Utility's ability to download the font into the printer's memory.
