Zapf Dingbats

[dave4224]

Zapf Dingbats are showing as 'unsupported characters used' in Font Manager, but they seem to be okay on PDF output. The Locate button only shows the text box, it doesn't highlight the actual text in question.

Similar problem here, several MacOS fonts are replaced by Lucida Grande.

Edit: the same thing happens in both Affinity D+P as well, doesn’t seem to be Publisher specific.

For what it is worth, Zapf Dingbats don't open for me either as a font type, although one can find a few using the Glyph browser.  Bodoni Ornaments work like a charm.  Also Type Embellishments.

Wingdings work okay as well, it seems to be only Zapf dingbats. Unfortunately Zapf Dingbats has all the symbols I use! ITC Zapf Dingbats Std doesn't work either and that's supposed to be a 'real' font.

For square bullets, 'n' is the Dingbat key and I can only get that by using Apple Mungo and double-clicking the square bullet in the Mac's menu bar 'Show Emoji & Symbols' panel, so at least I have a workaround, although a tad inconvenient.

Same here, Zapf Dingbats can only be placed with the Glyph Browser but Bodoni Ornaments are good with the keyboard as well as the Glyph Browser.
