This has aroused my curiousity. On the Mac side, there is no way to keep the Format -> Font menu from listing all the variations of a typeface separately, but the Font menu in the Character Designer correctly lists them as variants of a single typeface.

For example, we have roman and italic versions of not only Helvetica regular/medium and bold, but also black and light, all in both regular and condensed variations. The font menu lists them separately, but the character designer only lists Helvetica once, with all the variants showing up in the Angle, Weight and Variation menues.

Are you saying there is no way to achieve this in Windows?
