Well, that's that, then. Unfortunately, I didn't find any documentation
regarding ATSFontFindFromPostScriptName on the web. But maybe the
PostScript name is simply slightly different ("Zap-Dingbats" or
"Dingbats" would come to mind). Is there any way to check that?
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ might help (if you don't have it and
don't want to build it, you can also send me the font off-list and I
have a look at it), but I really don't know enough about fonts and the
Mac to know what's going on beneath the hood.
