I posted a response to this. Maybe it didn't make it out. There is a known bug in NS 3.0 related to the Garamonds, and you have hit it squarely on the head. I have been in correspondence with NeXT about it, and a fix should make it into the next release, whenever that may be. In the interim, your only choice is to edit the AFM files for fonts that are disappearing to change the FamilyName property to add some extra characters, so it won't sort into the same pile as the other Garamonds. This won't affect anything except the way the fonts are displayed in the font panel. -- Glenn Reid NeXTmail: glenn@rightbrain.com RightBrain Software 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977) Palo Alto, California Electronic Frontier Foundation, member #054
