So as not to get confused I put the separate file families into separate directories and I downloaded the MS font properties extension to get more info.

GARA.TTF is from Monotype Typography (v2.30 Jan 02 1996)
GARA_R.TTF is from Agfa Monotype (v2.10 Jan 06 1995)
GAR_____.TTF is from Monotype Typography (v2.0 Sep 28 1995)

NONE of these fonts are described as ITC Garamond. However, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop all think that the bold/bold italic fonts are ITC and the regular/italic fonts are Garamond. I have deleted adobefnt*.lst before starting InDesign but it still gets confused. On my other machine ALL the Garamond fonts appear as plain vanilla Garamond - not an ITC in sight.

Think I will give this one up as a bad job and switch to the Adobe Garamonds that came with CS
