have a situation where Arial Narrow (TT)v 1.15 and Arial Narrow OTTT v 2.35 are installed in the library/fonts folder. when I open a doc on my 10.5x mac(created elsewhere on a mac) that uses the older version in ID3 , it will not even see the older TT, but wants to substitute the 2.35. How can I force ID to recognize two versions of this font or at least to use the older one when called for?I have to swap this file back and forth several times during a production cycle and it's a gib pain in the butt. There are about five fonts like this in the document.

If there's an article about font loading order and/or recognition, I'd love to read it. I coudn't find one.
