WINDOWS

Summary:

When you use small point sizes of ITC ZapfDingbats, the text will be displayed on the screen in an alphanumeric font. When Windows needs to display very small text in any font, it will automatically use the SMALLx.FON screen font, which is an alphanumeric sans-serif typeface. Windows is designed to work this way.

The text formatted for ZapfDingbats in small point sizes will still print correctly, regardless of the way it is displayed on the screen, if you use a printer driver that recognizes the installation of small ZapfDingbats font files.
