We're finally trying to access the new fonts available on the Apple
LaserWriter Plus (yeah, we're a bit on the slow side :-).  We use
ditroff with Adobe's Transcript 2.0 package for most of our text
processing.  I've got most of the fonts working but the one that I
*really* want, ZapfDingbats, doesn't work.  When I run the AFM file
through afmdit.awk, the only characters that got placed into the
ditroff font description file are the space characters and a bunch
of fraction characters.  None of the good stuff like arrows and
scissors were defined.  I think the problem is that all the characters
in the font are named a1, a2, a20, etc.  Has anyone gotten this font
to work with Transcript already?  If so, please drop me a line on how to
do it.  Thanks in advance.
