      I just downloaded a new font that I purchased. But this problem exists for other fonts too. SU may or may not recognize variations in a font like thin, book, medium, bold, italics, light, titling etc. Or it cannot display a difference between Book, Roman, Medium and Light as in Avenir font. But it will show about 3-4 variations like with Ariel (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic). My other apps do not have a problem with this. Is there a fix for this? I would like to use my fonts in SU.

      The new font that I purchased has 13 variations available but SU will only display 2, even though I can select all 13.

          Open Type. They work perfect in Layout.

              TTF have the same problem in displaying variations on my MAC SU 2015.
              No there is not an equivalent in TTF as they are being phased out.
