Well...the problem was the operator (me). Apparently what confused me most was that some of the fonts were registering but not all....but after rebooting the machine, all fonts are now registering and are available. I thought I had done the reboot thing before crying for help, but obviously not.

By the way, I found the best way for me to map those fonts whose actual names don't show up (e.g. to get Myriad Pro SemiBold, I choose Myriad Pro Light and click the īŋŊBīŋŊ button on the style bar), I created a Quark document on the Mac and set a type sample page with the fonts applied. I then reopened the file on the PC, and can now match the font to what it looks like on the font menu bar in the Quark PC environment. I am sure you could do this in any cross-platform application (Word, etc.)

Thanks everybody for all your help!
