Double-clicking the font files opens a preview window similar to what happens on the Mac side in Font Book. The Font FileName is on the top line, followed by four lines of file header information. Although the files are named differently and the display shows the two distinct fonts correctly, the listing after �Typeface name� is �Myriad Pro Light� on both files. I think that this is what interferes with the font menu function in the Windows operating system. My font folder has the entire font family for Myriad Pro installed, but only Myriad Pro, Myriad Cond, Myriad Pro Light, Myriad Pro Light Condensed, and Myriad Pro Light SemiExt appear in the font menu list (using any application such as Word, etc). I know that the �B� and �I� font control bar buttons will get me extended font listings, but I still don't have access to any �Black� fonts. I have discovered that if I choose Myriad Pro Light and click �B�, what I get is Myriad Pro SemiBold. There�s nothing in the font menu that tells me that....I just tested it against what I get on the Mac side to make that determination. I have tried accessing these files using Bitstream�s Font Navigator without any improvement.
