Font attribute handling on all flavours of Windows stems from the early days of word processing - the naive user could just select between bold or not bold, italic or not italic, and combinations thereof. And, at that time, WIndows didn't compete with high end typesetting, so Microsoft decicded the world to be as defined by Windows. You may improve the situation by editing the WindowsToFrameFontAliases section (did I spell it correctly?) in the maker.ini file. Using this approach you may mimic the behaviour of e.g. the Mac in FrameMaker's character designer, but the basic problem - windows only knows of only four font attrributes, remains.
