Cannot See ITC Zapf Dingbat Item

I am converting all of my files from CS2 - CS3.3 MAC to PC CS3.3.  I have a dingbat that I used to be able to see. But now every file I open for the first time in CS3.3 PC, I cannot see my dingbat. I have to type it in AGAIN to see the item.
I have tried bring to front, send the others to back, changing the color. I am able to retype in the letter that makes it the Star that I need, but I have to do that on ALL my artwork. But mainly it icks me off that it is doing this when it obviously recognizes the item as a ITC Zapf Dingbat, and since I have that font installed on my computer.
Attached is the Dingbat, not visible, but you can see that Illustrator recognizes it.

It is an Open Type.
And to try and prevent issues, I converted all of my MAC fonts to PC compatible fonts, especially since there were tons of fonts that I used for Graphics design work on the MAC that were not available on PC without spending $$$$$$ to get an Adobe font library.
I am just confused why AI seems to see it just dfine and recognize that it is Zapf Dingabat, it doesn;'t come up with some weird font info, and it gets the correct color of it.  So if it can see all of the info related to the font I do not understand why as soon as I retype it, using the same converted font it comes out just fine.  I am unfortunately one of those people that needs to know why, even though I know how to fix it.

  • Can't edit ps6 file with ITC Zapf Dingbats in cs6 extend.?

    Dear sir/madam,
         I had worked out a psd file within ITC Zapf Dingbats font. But now I can't edit it in new purchased Ps Cs6 extend. Can you help me to copy the font from my older Xp laptop (Ps6) to the newest Win7 laptop (Ps Cs6)? Many thanks.
    Best Regards,

    At least on both my windows 7 and windows xp machines it looks like that might be a font that an adobe program installed.
    Maybe adobe reader or acrobat, but my guess is an older version of photoshop like yor photoshop 6 installed it.
    I say that because the font is in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\Base\PFM folder (windows xp), although the name is not obvious (it's a postscript font as Mylenium wrote), so it may well be
    a commericial font because i know they sell it at the adobe store.
    Oh it's called i believe ZD______.PFM

  • ITC Zapf Dingbat font install issues?

    We have CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  We purchased  ITC Zapf Dingbats Std from Adobe and installed them on the PC.  It shows them in listed as installed and if you try to reinstall them, then it prompts and says they are already there.  Our issue revolves around using them, when you use them in a current or new document it only shows a box with an X in it and not the font.  What is the fix for this issue?  As a side note, we also had purchased several Helvetica fonts and installed them without issue and they work without any issue.

    Are you typing in text from your keyboard? Try inserting a character through the Glyphs panel.
    The old way of adding dingbats and other symbols to a font was to substitute regular characters with them, so to get a fleuron, you'd type something like a "D" and rely on the font encoding to get the "right" character. With modern fonts (and modern versions of classic fonts), that practice has been deemed obsolete and not interchangeable. To insert a dingbat, you'd need to type the actual character on your keyboard (and you are unlikely to have a "five point white star" key), or insert the appropriate code otherwise, such as through the Glyphs panel.
    The Adobe Font store does report the character encoding for Zapf Dingbats as "Symbol/Pi": http://store1.adobe.com/type/browser/info/charsets.html#symbolpi

  • Why partner function description cannot see in the billing item?

    Hi Experts,
    I have one doubt about partner function.
    I have created a new partner function with description and assign this partner function to the billing partner function procedure.
    When I create the billing document, in the item level, I can only see the partner function name, but description is missing.
    What is the reason?
    Does any one meet such kind of situation before?
    Hope to give me some suggestion.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Chris Gu

    Hi Chris Gu;
    In the SD module personal numbers addresses are determined to be      
    the address of the personal area.                                     
    If the personal number is assigned to a sales office or sales         
    organisation the system shows the address of the sales office and     
    if there is no sales office the address of the sales organisation.    
    If you have no sales office or sales organisation assigned and is 
    not assigned to a personal area, the system does not determine an     
    address.                                                              
    Please maintain the assignment and the address should be displayed.   
    If you want the private address of the personal number to be displayed
    you can use modification note 63258. Please consider that    
    this may conflict with data security.   
    Regards

  • CS6 problems with using Zapf Dingbats font

    The same font file works perfectly in QXpress (9.5.3) but not in Illustrator (16.0.0) and even less signs show in InDesign (8.0).
    I work in Mac OS 10.6.8.
    My old ITC Zapf Dingbats was a PS Type 1 font from the last century, version 001.001. (I have not used Dingbats in InDesign yet. I dug up QuarkXPress again today to check and all dingbats work fine there while) InDesign only displays half of them. Then I bought an OTF (Version 2.066;PS 005.000;hotconv 1.0.67;makeotf.lib2.5.33168) of this font today and installed it – with worse results: next to none display in ID.
    (I test with a font size of 18 pt.)
    I can reach all dingbats via the Glyphs command though, but that's not the idea, is it? They should be under the keys for quick access!
    Might have something to do with InDesign's font substitution settings but I don't know where to access them.
    (There was a similar question – https://forums.adobe.com/message/1280829#1280829 – but that was over six years ago. I hope there is a smarter solution by now…)

    I never even knew there was a Dingbat fix, as I never had a problem with the font and Frame before.
    In Frame 8 all the characters disappeared. When I print to a pdf, I get an error message thusly:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: ZapfDingbats not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%
    Stack:
    /Font
    (ZapfDingbats)
    false
    /2
    0
    /F0
    false
    /ZapfDingbats
    I get no such error message with Frame 7.
    Now, I took my elderly Zapf Dingbats font and ran it through Fontographer--I didn't change a thing, I just generated a new Type 1 font. Frame 8 was happy with that one, but Frame 7 displayed some other font instead. I have no idea what the font is, it kinda looks like Arial.

  • Help! Cannot see bounding box.

    I don't know what I did, but I cannot see bounding boxes around items in one motion project...
    I think I must have turned them off by accident.
    I am able to see bounding boxes in other motion projects... just not this one. I also restarted the program, to no avail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I didn't know about this. Thanks.
    However, I checked and it is already checked off... So it's something else...
    I figure something is wrong with the file. I just made a new project and copied and pasted everything in there... and viola, there they are.

  • Cannot see menu items on database home page after install of beta3

    I have installed XE beta 3 in a Windows 2000 SP4 VM. Install went fine and I can get to the home page without issue. However, I cannot see the items when I use the pulldown menus. If I move the mouse cursor over them, it is possible to select although I dotn know what I am selecting!
    Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it?
    Many thanks,
    Rob

    I am running VMware Workstation 5.5 for Windows XP.
    I have a Windows 2000 VM established, with SP4 applied.
    The VM is running IE 5. I have no other browsers installed. I am not able to install XE anywhere else at present, due to resource limitations.
    Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Next week I will install onto a "real" Windows 2000 environment, but would like to get this one working sooner than that.
    Thanks for your response.
    Cheers, Rob

  • Cannot see items in my trash bin sice upgrading to mountain lion

    cannot see deleted items in my trash bin,since upgrading to mountain lion,it seems to delete items straight away.

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

    are some settings that may help.
    There are other settings there ...they may not be to your liking but try them all anyways.
