zaphdingbats
Hi, I’ve made a design at home, wich includes a symbol from ZaphDingbats, I emailed the design to my shop, where my cutter is and it can’t find the font when opening, now when I look at my computer at home, I can use the font ZaphDingbats in Corel but I can’t find it in my fonts list either to copy it on my shops computer. Where is that on my computer, I know it’s not a real font but I just can’t find it anywhere….stupid me or computer??
I tried to search on the net for Zaphdingbats as that’s the name shown in corel, but nothing….
Any help appreciated… -

You might have more luck searching for zapfdingbats, thats the name it normally goes by. It should be on most machines as standard I thought though.
I can email it to you if you like.

If your using it in corel it will most definately be on your corel draw disk

I can only find it under adobe/acrobat/font as Zd___.pfb and Zd___.pmf but I can’t copy it unto my windows fonts. Just don’t know how to get it on my other comp. It’s not on my corel CD as I use the same on both machines, the only difference is that at home I still use ME and in the shop XP. If you could send it to me orangedog, would be greatfull, saves me searching for a few more hours. Thanks

The one you have found in the adobe file is T1 postscript font.
Why not have type manager on both computers?Also is you created in Corel why not you output to service bureau it will then cather the fonts (most of the time) for you.

If its just one design convert to outlines and then send it to the other computer

As Tim Says the font your looking for is an Adobe font which is used from within adobe type manager.
Adobe type manager must be on your computer at home. If you don’t have it on disk, you can download a light version from http://www.adobe.com onto your work PC.
Then just save the required font on disk and install it in to type manager, it will be on your C drive in a file called PSFONTS

Hi all, it’s been a long time I replied, but been very busy. Orangedog, thanks for sending the font but it came as a .dat file so couldn’t use it.
When I downloaded the latest adobe reader, it installs their fonts in a different folder and can only be used in photoshop and AI so not in Corel anymore. I contacted adobe about that.
So at the end I just had to save the outlines as a seperate pic and do it that way.
Thanks for your help all anyway…. -
The .dat extension was probable due to the email system was it sent from a mac?
Anyway change the extension to ttf if it was a ttf and all should be ok.
I’ve had Quark files and Ai files change there extension before when they have been emailed.
