Why do some applications display dingbat fonts and others don't. I am running Debian sarge and Gnome 2.4. Abiword 2.0.1 lists Davysdingbats, Davysotherdingbats, and Dingbats in the font dropdown but it displays blanks for each character. However DavysBigKeyCaps displays fine. The Dingbats used to work. The Abiword FAQ page says that fontconfig is used for fonts. Font Viewer 0.5.0 has no problem displaying the Dingbat fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/davyding.pfb daod_____.pfb and d050000l.pfb. It is probably a setup problem I have but I have no idea what the problem is. Thanks, -- Brent Elmer <webe3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
