This is a problem that I have encounted often, as I work in the variable data printing industry. Most Windows applications can't destinguish fonts that have the same family name (eg Myriad Pro), even if the subfamily name is different (eg bold). I think this may occur when fonts are converted from a Mac, which obviously isn't affected by this. The solution is to rename the fonts using a font editor (CR8type is a good one, ha) before installing them. Rename Myriad Pro (subfamily bold) as Myriad Pro Bold etc. Allan Murray
