Hi
I have a Pb with fonts using Win2000 and Office XP.


I have installed the ZapfDingbats font, and if I connect
to the PC as Administartor, I can use this font with Office tools
(Word, Powerpoint, ... etc.)

But If I login into the PC as another user, and if I try to
use the ZapfDingbats font in Word for instance, I get
the characters of the WingDings font !!!!!!!

Is it a Mapping Pb ??? I've looked in the registry but
I haven't found any mapping between these two fonts !!!

Any Idea PLEASE

Cheers
am

ZapfDingbats is a Printer font which will only appear if the currently
selected printer supports that font. You can manually type the font
name into the Fonts box to force Word to use it, but it will most likely
be Substituted with the MonoType Sorts TrueType font.

i.e. I've tested with a LaserJet 5 PS print driver and the ZapfDingbats
is available. A LaserJet II driver will not show ZapfDingbats.
