Unfortunately, trashing and re-installing fresh didn't work. One of the fonts is question is plain old Helvetica, whose seemingly infinite versions cause great headaches. After having trouble with Apple's TrueType Helvetica (couldn't get the obliques in Illustrator) I decided to go back to the Type 1 versions. The only copies I could find come from old CDs that I received Adobe software on (like Adobe Type Manager or Illustrator in pre-OS X days). These were provided in a suitcase along with Helvetica Narrow, so if I put Helvetica in a font set and activate it, I also get Helvetica Narrow. This is more of an inconvenience than anything serious.

Some of my other fonts (like ITC Korinna) come from the days of single-sided floppy discs, so just getting the darn things off the disc is no longer possible on the computers I have available!

I saw something at the Font Agent Pro site called Font Smasher that may be what I want, but the details are sketchy. It just says you can "perform suitcase surgery." That's not very specific...
