Finally, all fonts available on my LaserWriter Plus are available to my GS and I can tell which one I am using! It is indeed the real one! So that the font would be recognized correctly by the Laserwriter Plus and for its proper name to appear in the Appleworks GS font menu it was necessary for me to change its internal name (to ZapfDingbats) and font family number (to 13) using FONTINFO.ED. I enclose a copy of the edited font so that you might post it on GS Worldview so any others with an old laserwriter can use it easily. Now to see if I can convert a few more sizes using the instructions on your website. Thanks again, Gary "Charles T.
