- 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.
