[comp.sys.mac.misc] Font Families

dmittman@beowulf.JPL.NASA.GOV (David Mittman) (12/08/90)

I have just downloaded some font families from SUMEX-AIM, Adobe's
directory. These files have the plain font along with the bold,
italic, and bold-italic faces. They operate correctly: I get the
correct screen font when I bold some text, not the algorithmic
bolding. Why, then, do all four names appear in the font menus of
most programs? How can I keep this from happening:

Avant Garde
B Avant Garde Demi
BI Avant Garde DemiOblique
I Avant Garde BookOblique

Instead, just listing Avant Garde? Thanks in advance.
