I am not able to see all my fonts on my XP PC. When running an
application like Flash or Word my fonts are listed in "Families" so my
13 fonts show up only as 4 fonts leaving out bold, bold italics,
italics, etc...
This is preventing me from mapping my fonts to the correct name when
importing form other peoples machines who have the same font face.
I need to list ALL fonts in my applications.

I don't quite get what your problem is.

Can you use Word as an example, and walk us through an actual example
of the difficulty you have with your fonts.

Thanks,

The font designer created 14 fonts. In MAC all 14 are selectable but
in PC only the "parent" fonts are selectable and you would need to
select Bold or Italics from the font properties to get the "parent"
font to Bold.

this is not desired as the font property Bold or Italics is not the
same it is a faked version of what the font should really look like.
We would need to see all fonts in our dropdown for this to work for
us.

font-a.ttf
font-a-bold.ttf
font-a-bold-italics.ttf

There is no answer at this time.

sorry,I didn't quite catch your meaning...I think the "fonts" (bold
italics...etc)you said are not fonts at all.They are just fonts'
SHAPE,the place you should choose your fonts is beside that blank....

Regular Bold Italic and Bold Italic are the font style not font face.
So you click on font face drop down box hope you'll get all the fonts
detail that you have installed in your PC.

Feel free to ask if you want any thing more.....
