I have the same problem between Windows and MacOS. On MacOS some truetype variants like bold and italic are their own typefaces and register as such, but on Windows the typeface is always the base, then you have to select bold or italic as a style. This makes Start Using Font a real pain in the arse. In factI have come across situations where even using the correct font name in Windows in the start using command, STILL does not correctly register the font, so I have to install all the fonts I use on each Windows platform.
