If you repeatedly use the same dingbats or illustrations from picture fonts in QuarkXPress, you can eliminate the need to include the font when outputting if you convert those characters to picture boxes in QuarkXPress.
Just select the character(s) and choose Style> Text to Box.
The result is a native QuarkXPress picture box shaped exactly like the dingbat, and the font is no longer necessary for output.
(To anchor it in the text, hold down the Option key when choosing Style> Text to Box.)
