I have alot of screenfonts, but the way the Mac puts different styles
into the font menus is very confusing.  For example, the LetterGothic
show up in the menu as:
B Letter Gothic Bold
BI Letter Gothic Bold Italic
I Letter Gothic Italic
Letter Gothic

where Times just shows up as Times.

My question is, why do the different styles for some fonts show up in
the font menu and others don't.  The menu gets increadibly cluttered
with a significant number of fonts.

Also in the Font/DA Mover, the italicized and bold styles show up in
those styles for some fonts (like Times) and show up in their names (B
*whatever* Bold   I *whatever* Italic) in other fonts (like Letter
Gothic).

How can I make all of my fonts behave like Times??
