When I first came across fonts with this problem, I thought that they must have been converted from a Mac by someone unaware of a PC's 'quirks'.

After reading these posts, I am now aware, that very few people seem to understand or even acknowledge that there is an issue. I guess that if you are only using high-end graphics software, and only using professional foundry fonts, then you would probably never come across this problem.

In my world though, even the high-end VDP (variable data printing) software that I am using, doesn't allow me to select between fonts with the same 'family' name, and not everyone is prepared to pay for good fonts, but prefer to use cheap or free ones.
