Adobe Garamond font in bold doesn't distill properly

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Pardon my ignorance, but if I can't find where these are installed, how can
I tell any of that? Yes, it is Adobe Garamond Pro. 

None of these Adobe fonts are in Windows\fonts. They are listed in FM, but I
just noticed that I don't see them in Word. Where else does FM look for
fonts?

I've not changed printers, so I don't think they are printer fonts. I'm
fairly certain they came with the TCS, which I installed recently. I know I
haven't had these fonts until recently, hence my belief that they came with
TCS.

About Art's comment, yes, I used Adobe PDF as the printer when I created my
.ps file. I always do.

Exactly which fonts were you using? The Type 1 version of Adobe Garamond
or the OpenType version of Adobe Garamond (Adobe Garamond Pro)? And do you
actually have these fonts installed on your system (as opposed to some of
them being "printer resident fonts")?
