> This works fine on Macs, but the variations aren't recognized by Windows. This could be misleading to some. If you mean to say that the other variants won't be listed under the main font name, then you're right, but some might take it to mean that these fonts won't be recognised by Windows period. And that's just wrong. I acutally prefer having variants listed under the family name rather than as separate fonts (as per Macs). And, by the once popularity of Type Reunion, I gather many Mac users also liked to have it this way. Windows only real problem is that it doesn't list all variants under the family name.
