Have you deleted your font caches?  Get a shareware or freeware utility 
that does this (I'm currently using Tiger Cache Cleaner but I hear there 
are better ones) or read up on the specific files that need to be purged..

Remember also the preference that Creator has on the Text screen - 
"Exclude fonts from the System/Library/Fonts folder".  Since Zaph 
Dingbats is one of the fonts in that folder, it could be why Creator is 
not able to see them while other apps are.
