I am trying to use the Myriad Pro family on my PC, and there is a problem in trying to use Myriad Pro Light along with Myriad Pro Semi Condensed. When I open the font files, the window that shows the font and all the information shows the proper font names on the top line in the window. But on the third line that shows "Typeface name" shows "Myriad Pro Light" for both these fonts. As a consequence, the Windows system does not know how to display both fonts separately, and the Semibold font is therefore not available to me. This does not cause on problem on the Mac side...both fonts display and output correctly. Is there an easy way around this, or will I have to repurchase the fonts for the Windows environment?
