> WinWord thinks that the Garamond fonts all belong to the same family

What are you basing this on? I have the Adobe Type 1 ITC Garamond on my PC but in Word it appears as simply Garamond in the menu. And Word will create faux fonts, so are you sure that Word is grouping these fonts in one family?

I would tend to trust ID. Which makes me think the style linking or naming is faulty in these fonts, which then makes me think that someone, sometime, converted these fonts from T1. The fact that the filenames don't turn up anything helpful on Google also makes me suspicious. Can you select the various Garamonds and tell us what foundry produced them and what their various names are (PS name, font name and style)?

Alternatively, you could try deactivating all Garamonds (if you have a type manager) or removing them and then reactivating/replacing them one by one, one family at a time, to see when conflicts appear. ID won't recognise two fonts with exactly the same name and I think linking problems can occur too in such a case.

As for Explorer not showing the fonts, what folder is the GARA_R.TTF file in?
