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.
