Any suggestions please?

Hi Severin,
Keyboard Viewer does a good job with “real” character fonts, but when
you move into symbols and dingbats, you can have problems.
Apple’s Character Palette can help in this regard because it will
show you all those oddball characters and allow you to insert them
into your text.
To view special characters in Keyboard Viewer, hold down any modifier
keys (the option key, for example), and the on-screen keyboard will
show you the special characters available for that particular key (or
for that combination of modifier keys if you’re holding down more
than one).
To test other typefaces, click on the Font menu at the bottom of the
window and select another one.
For example, hold down the Option key and type G and the copyright
symbol © appears in your text.
Webdings shows ok in my Keyboard Viewer, but Zapf Dingbats doesn't.
Cheers,
Ronni
