So, I'm on a Mac, and I've got a certain font (Orbitron) installed in 4 weights on my machine (light, medium, bold, black). But in Illustrator, only two of those weights (bold, black) are visible for use?
WTF? What have I done wrong? How do I get things right, so I can use the fucking medium weight?

But what about me, and my problem?

i'm using Font Explorer X on snow leopard. Might have more to do with your font manager and less to do with Illy.

I recommend that you use the OTF version of Orbitron. The TTF version is provided for software incompatible with OTF. EOT files are provided for use in Internet Explorer.
You may use this font freely on the web with @font-face, SIFR, Cufon, etc.Miesfan - OTF version of Orbitron. The TTF version is provided for software incompatible with OTF. EOT files are provided for use in Internet Explorer.

Well, the fonts do show up and can be used in my Pages word processing program, so I had the idea it was an Illy problem?

I installed the Open Type versions.

Clear font caches. Restart. Try again.

Font cache? Where in the world do I find that?

So I executed the various font cache clearing scripts, and they didn't work. So I just put the fonts that weren't working into the Adobe fonts folder, and got on with it.
I can't spend all fucking weekend fixing this problem.
