I had a problem with CS programs getting confused with Garamond font names some time ago and eventually learned to live with it. However, it has reaered its head again and I though I would try to sort it out. I have these fonts installed:

GAR_____.TTF / GARB____.TTF / GARI____.TTF / GARBI___.TTF

which all look like the same family but ID etc thinks that the Bold faces are ITC Garamond and the regular/italic faces Garamond. This causes problems when trying to set BOLD etc character styles.

We have another PC which has all these Garamond fonts in \Windows\fonts

GARA_R.TTF / GARA_I.TTF / GARA_BD.TTF / GARA_BDI.TTF
GAR_____.TTF / GARB____.TTF / GARI____.TTF / GARBI___.TTF
GARA.TTF / GARAIT.TTF /GARABD.TTF

All are described as "Open type v2.0 28 Sep 1995" but have different file sizes. For example, GAR______.TTF is 82 kb, GARA_R.TTF is 312 kb and GARA.TTF is 193 kb. They also have different icons: GARA.TTF has an OpenType icon while the other two have TrueType icons.

I guess this is not a big deal but not sure why ID seems to use the GARA_R.TTF etc set while Explorer only shows the GAR_____.TTF set of fonts yet if I do DIR GA* at the DOS prompt, I see all these fonts.

Could anyone please throw some light on this? Thanks in advance
