Of course I know very well the stupid limitations of the lousy Windows, i.e "chunks of only 4 styles per family". (I prefer Mac of course, but can only use that at home.)

However,I thought that the maker.ini settings under:
'[WindowsToFrameFontAliases]'
were there to be able to map the dumb Windows things into proper families. No one has yet answered me if that is indeed possible, let alone how to do it! Has really no one played with these settings!?
(I have played pretty much with the settings, but have so far not achieved what I wanted.)

What I expected to achieve was of course to get a family name in the Character or Paragraph Designer with four weights: Regular, Light, Demi, Bold.

(By that method it would e.g be easy to apply the character format Bold to any word, since the family doesn't need to be changed. Since I am making templates for other people, it would be much easier for them to understand - otherwise they are very likely to end up with e.g a bolded version of the light font family! - something that must never occur!)
