Question

Adobe Garamond Expert no longer working?

Running OS X 10.5.7 on a MacBook Pro ("Late 2007").

"A while ago" (don't know exactly when), I used to be able to use Adobe Garamond Expert (Type 1) font on my Mac.  Now - not working.  Adobe Garamond is working.  In Font Book.app, I can get previews of AG, but not AGE (AGE does appear in the font list).  I have the fonts and font suitcase installed in /Library/Fonts/.  I thought the suitcase or a font file might be corrupted, but when browsing my font CD, I get the same results in the Finder. When trying to use a document containing AGE in Word 2008, I get blank glyphs.

Another data point I just tried - I imported the Word doc into AI CS3, and AGE works fine in here (I guess the CS apps are using their own font engine?).

Is this a known problem?  Anyone else able to use AGE in Leopard?  Thanks for any assistance.

    I guess this is an Apple bug - it is now "fixed" in Snow Leopard (10.6).  Love having to pay for those bug fixes.
