Wondering about Ghost Fonts & Odd Replacements

[Fred Ridder]

I'm not sure that clarifies anything. When I replicated your search, Google only actually listed 12 out of 856 results (one of which is the OP's query) and then says "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 12 already displayed." And nearly all of the displayed results are junk hits like "free download" list sites and best price finder sites which include strings like "Adobe Garamond Pro Bold (Bold, Bold Italic, Italic, Regular)" which Google considers as matches because it ignores punctuation.

I did a Google search on "Adobe Garamond Pro Bold Bold" (include the quotes) and got 840 results.

They aren't in the master or reference pages (that I can find). I know these ghost fonts should not be there, because I built the file and stripped all the text before importing it.
