Has anyone seen this font issue with Frutiger, or other fonts, on 
Windows or Linux?  Is this just a Mac issue?

I am asking this, since I have some packages that install several 
Frutiger fonts [if I remember correctly] during their "standard" install 
process.  I do not use Mac, so if anyone has seem this on Windows, or 
Linux, then I will have to look into this.  To be honest, I tend to 
remove unneeded fonts, like Frutiger, since I have too many "specialty" 
fonts to keep in my font folders for "specialty" work.  Since I 
currently do not use that font, I removed it.

I stated I have the "early 2000's" era fonts.  I do not remember if you 
are using newer ones or not.  I just wonder if there are any differences 
in the old versions of the font set, vs. the newer versions.
