Colleen. I once again share your pain. And, I do wish Apple and Adobe could offer a better solution tahn to say that we should make sure only one font type of the same family is active at the same time, because, as you have found, sometimes it is difficult to change (a System font), and at other times, other programs may have installed fonts for us (Adobe and Microsoft to mane two).

I just ran across a problem with Futura. Apple installs a dfont andI have my own. I Deactivated Apple's with Font Book; but, my Futura Regular Type 1 font (or Medium...different programs list the font under different names) is not selectable...only Apple's dFont. I actually have to remove Apple's dfont in order to be able to use mine. I guess that is because Adobe InDesign sees that the dfont is newer (becuase it has more characters, I have been told) and uses it...even though I can select the rest of my Fut font family.

Sigh!
