Notes Not all symbol sets are available with certain resident fonts.
The Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft-Pub, Pi-Font, PS-

symbol sets cannot be used with the resident bitmap fonts

The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-ZapfDingbats, Ventura-
Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200, and Zapf-
Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts.
If a mismatch between a symbol set and font occurs, the
standard PCL font selection mechanism is used to locate a
font that matches the selected symbol set. With the standard
set of fonts distributed for your printer, this matches the Times*
font, but other user-installed fonts could change this result.
