Creator issue with Apple Chancery

[Eric Tietze]

Is this the same problem that I'm having with Zapf Dingbats?  I think I 
remember that font being mentioned before but don't remember the 
outcome.  It works fine in all of the Creative Suite software, but not 
in Creator.  Doesn't show up on screen, it does print just not always 
with the proper spacing.  Is there a workaround?  I have a couple 
versions of dingbats (not sure the differences, just know there are 2 
different ones) and neither of them will work in Creator.

Thanks
