Follow up:
I have Quark and InDesign on my PC, and did a test switching back and forth between them to see the Myriad Pro family. InDesign has access to the entire Myriad Pro family, but Quark (which apparently uses the Windows OS font handling) has these that are not available:

Myriad Pro Bold SemiExt
Myriad Pro Bold SemiExt Italic
Myriad Pro Black
Myriad Pro Black Condensed
Myriad Pro Black Condensed Italic
Myriad Pro Black Italic
Myriad Pro Black SemiExt
Myriad Pro Black SemiExt Italic
Myriad Pro SemiExt
Myriad Pro SemiExt Italic

The only SemiExt family that shows up on the Windows OS font menu is Myriad Pro Light SemiExt, and using the sytle buttons I get:

Myriad Pro Light SemiExt
Myriad Pro Light SemiExt Italic
Myriad Pro SemiBold SemiExt
Myriad Pro SemiBold SemiExt Italic

There doesn't seem to be a path to the SemiExt fonts listed above or any of the Black fonts.

Is there a way for the Windows OS font handler to access the last ten fonts? The application I actually need it in is Pageflex by Bitstream and not Quark. It is only available as a PC application and uses the Windows OS font handler.
