Some fonts aren't working in Pages

I type in characters, then select them, then try to change the font, either in the Fonts window, or in the font chooser above the text area in the Pages document window, certain fonts aren't available. I have the full families for two Adobe fonts for high-end typesetting, Adobe Garamond and Adobe Caslon. If I choose the regular typeface for either Garamond or Caslon, the characters are shown correctly. If, however, I choose Garamond Expert (which has very small capital letters and old-fashioned numerals) or Caslon Ornaments (which has elaborate decorative elements) the characters are shown in a generic default font. Weirdly, the fonts are displayed properly in the pull-down list of fonts in the font chooser. Even more weirdly, if I type a bunch of text in Pages, then select the text, then choose Garamond Expert Collection or Caslon Ornaments, then copy that text, then paste it into TextEdit ...it shows up properly, set in either of the two typefaces.


I've created a template for producing a full book using Pages, but I need those typefaces for professional-looking typography. Does anyone have any clues for how to get Pages to properly implement those fonts?


I have verified disk permissions, validated the fonts, etc....
