Does any use the dingbests fonts with MikTeX? Years ago, the commands \usepackage{pifont} \Pisymbol{dingbests}{124} would produce a little hand. I have the pifont package, but in my current configuration (MikTeX 2.7 on a PC), TeX draws a blank. Thanks for any advice you may have. ........Edgar -- Edgar G.

They're not available via MiKTeX or CTAN, you'd have had to install them yourself separately. See: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/metrics/w-a-schmidt/dingbests.txt Alan |

Dear Alan, Thanks for your reply, the only one I received. Well, I most certainly cannot get the dingbests font to work. Do you by any chance have the file dingbests.pdf? .........Edgar P.S. To correct part of my original message, with \usepackage{pifont} \Pisymbol{pzd}{45} I can produce a small hand holding a pencil. But I don't think this is from the dingbests font.

It's good of you to bear with me. I have a one line file containing \Pisymbol{dingbest}{93} %thumbsup which is supposed to produce a thumbs up. The file compiles, it previews with dvi, but showing a right ], dvips works fine without complaint, and produces the same right ]. I had the dingbests working years ago, probably before I converted to miktex. .........Edgar Alan Ristow wrote: > Edgar Goodaire wrote: >> Dear Alan, >> Thanks for your reply, the only one I received.
