Re: [MiKTeX] The Dingbests fonts

[Edgar G. <ed...@ma...>]

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.
