Good thing you re-stated the question, because my previous answer will be
wrong.

I think that you are SOL.  That version of TranScript just doesn't have the
other font families built in.

Maybe someone from Adobe could pipe in and let us know if the adobe-server
has files for the other fonts that can be added to the current TranScript.
