This is a Windows Question for Word Users.....

I have some Third Party Fonts I was using on an old machine that I am
retiring and moved them to my new Vista Machine The face has Roman,
Bold, Italic, Bold/Italic.

I copy the font files into the font directory. In Word (and everything
else, only Regular and Bold Italic show up in the font dialog as being
available.

Then reboot and delete the fonts.

Then I installed roman. ---- Word shows (font dialog) all four font
styles.
Then I installed Bold. ---- Word shows all four font styles.
Then I installed Bold Italic. ---- Word shows only Regular and Bold
Italic.

Then reboot and delete the fonts.
Then I installed roman. ---- Word shows all four font styles.
I type in some text and format it in all four styles.
Then I installed italic. ---- Word still shows all four font styles.
And, as expected, the "italic" text goes from slanted to real italic.
Then I installed Bold. ---- Word shows all four font styles. Less
noticeably, but text changes.
Then I installed Bold Italic. ---- Word shows al four styles.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Because other applications had
the exact same problem, it was obviously not a "Word" problem.

However, why should the order of font face installation be an issue?
