The WISIWIG font menu in Indesign CS2 has a font that shows as an incorrect name.
In the WISIWIG menu, Myriad Pro (type 1) shows as as Myriad Pro > then the family that pops up is actually Helvetica Neue. All of the other fonts show ?Sample? in their respective type face except this one. It shows as ?Building?. when I select this font, (Myriad Pro) the character pallet indicates that the font is Helvetica Neue. It also prints this way.
I use Suitcase V 11.0.2 and have rebuilt the suitcases, deleted both Myriad Pro, and Helvetica Neue. As well as Myriad Pro (OPEN TYPE). This font shows correctly and works fine. I can?t seem to have Helvetica Neue show up in the WISIWIG Menu Under its own name. The pop up from Myriad Pro shows Helvetica Neue in its own font.
I have deleted Suitcase prefs, Indesign prefs, rebooted, corrected permissions.
Documents print fine with Helvetica Neue (Myriad Pro). I am just short of re-installing Indesign CS2 but don?t want to hassle with the whole activation thing with Adobe.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to clean you font cache. Have you done that yet? If not
there are a couple of tools that are handy, OnyX or Font Finagler.

Font Finagler--> http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/

OnyX--> http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11582

Run one of those to clean out the font cache, reboot and see if
that helps. Sorry if you have already tried one of these, but I
didn't see it in your post.

Good Luck

I have resolved this issue by trashing preference files of indesign.
User>Library>prefs>Adobe Indesign>Version4>
trashed:
Indesign Saved Data
Indesign Defalts

FYI The font cache didn't seem to help. (good to do anyway)
Thanks for the reply
