OK here goes

(a) Were all these fonts originally TT fonts?

AFAIK they were - I have not converted anything from Type 1. GARA.TTF etc comes with Win XP and I assume the others were installed by one of the programs on my PC. The only way I know to get at the info inside the fonts is to use Win font viewer - that's how I "know" they were TT fonts created in Sept 1995 (apparently).

The annoying thing is that WinWord thinks that the Garamond fonts all belong to the same family whereas ID and Illustrator think they belong to different families. It galls me to say it but WinWord looks like it is right in this case.

(b) All are described as ...

I appreciate that file size is a bit of red herring - I was just confused why three versions of the same font should vary in size so much.

(c) Have you searched Common files\adobe\fonts

Yes - no Garamond fonts there except the Adobe Garamond which appear as a completely separate family
