Gah, font name disparities between Macs and Windows are the worst, especially when MS and Adobe are thrown into the mix. I'm sorry I don't know how to fix that problem, but I've heard it before (and I've run into it before on my own network). It may be how the Windows database tracks fonts internally, it may be how Adobe recognizes font names, it may be how you installed the fonts, it may be because there's a conflict. I *think* you avoid this problem if you use OpenType fonts, which are completely cross-platform, and you just encounter it with Type 1 and TrueType fonts. I would try posting the issue to the font experts on the Typophile.com forums, they should know more than anyone. <http://typophile.com/> I would also try posting the same issue to Adobe's Type forum ... it doesn't get a lot of traffic, probably because it's called the ATM and Type forum, but I just checked and there's some Type-specific questions and answers there. Here's the Windows forum for that: <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b306/> If you ever come up with an answer/fix/solution, *please* post it here! AM
