Jackie,
When I looked at the font menu, I found that Myriad Pro Semibold showed
up in the menu as Myriad Pro Light � STYLIZED AS BOLD.
It is, to say the least, counterintuitive for any type-savvy designer.
For PostScript RIPs, it is usually a no-no to stylize fonts.
In the distant past when I did this with a Mac XPress file, the RIP output killed all styles. I was never shown a proof, and I didn't find out until millions of copies of the ad I created were on the newsstand!
Neil
