I ended up taking the .ttc into Trans Type Pro and converting to .otf's. I also changed the menu names in a properties tab to reflect each member of the family. By default the menu names all said "American Typewriter" while the PhotShop names were unique. A button in the properties box in Trans Type Pro chaned the menu names to reflect - bold, - condensed, etc... I've often had font families that only one font from the family shows up in Title Tool. This menu name then showed up with all the choices in Title Tool. I don't know if it's what I did or just dumb luck. Can anyone explain why the menu name of a font would differ from the PhotoShop name? Did I mention I HATE FONTS!!!!
