Joel,

The way the fonts are internally named on a PC keeps them in chunks of
4 variant/weight combos that are displayed as Family names (unless I'm
misunderstanding your question).

I see the same "Families" on the Format > Font list as in the Designer
lists, e.g. HelveticaNeueStd Light, Light Cond, Light Ext, Medium,
Medium Cn, etc. If I follow this correctly, you'd expect to see just
the Family name of HelveticaNeueStd and then expect the rest to show
under "Variation" ? The PC side usually doesn't show anything under
the Variation other than Regular or AsIs.

I too would prefer to see the use as you expect it.
