I've been having a problem with various fonts and I think it's a naming issue. Being new to all this I'd thought I'd ask. The example I will use is the FrutigerNextLT font. 18 styles. When I install them and try to open them in InDesign, I only have 6 (Light, Light Italic, Black, Regular Italic, Medium, Medium Italic). When I look in the font manager (I use Maintype) it's different. There I have (2)Light, (1) Light Italic, (8) as simply 'FrutigerNextLT', (2) Medium, and (1) each the remaining five italics. Does anyone know what is happening and is there anything I can do about it (aside from getting a Mac-I am PC [sorry]). Thanx for any help.
