[texworks] Poppler fonts

[Paul A Norman]

(I know its redundant but for completeness)

To complete the original circle, re-opened Duncan's pdf while only having
the two type1 fonts (d050000l.pfb d050000l.afm) in the Tw fonts folder, and
as hoped it opens fins with circles showing and text and numbers

So everyone's suggestions worked out.

Are any of the other fonts in the fonts folder going to be needed as well
for previewing?
Or is zapfdingbats the only one that Poppler can't find  Windows  supplying
some sort of stand-in for? Which organises/handles that - Poppler or Windows
font management?
