Interesting... maybe a MAC difference? Both my Windows (WinXP and Win7)
and Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora) versions of AOOo and LO only show Calibri
and Calibri Light in the dropdown. Calibri Light Italic (it is installed
on my Windows system) isn't listed in the dropdowns. Ditto for other
Windows applications: MSWord, Works, Wordpad.
