No clue. I've got Illustrator too, and Word 2004, and *some* fonts
installed with Adobe CS1 show up in my Word menu, but not all.
Word seems to be loading the fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and
harddrive/Library/Fonts (where ~ stands for your username home
account). But Myriad is in neither of those places, and doesn't even
show up in Font Book.
This suggests that the installer has not actually installed them? Are
they available in Illustrator? You can check the Install log and find
out exactly where Adobe installed the fonts, or whether an error was
generated when it tried.
I have had no problem using the Myriad provided with Illustrator in
Word 2004, although I installed the fonts from the Illustrator CD
myself rather than using an Adobe installer. I simply copied them into
Library/Fonts so they are available to all users of each computer, and
would recommend this approach.
Fonts are really complicated--hopefully someone more expert will come
along. You might ask on the Adobe forums, in the meantime, as it seems
to be something about what Adobe is doing.
I'd personally say that I think fonts are pretty straightforward and
far less fickle than they used to be in pre-OS X days when Suitcase or
similar was a *necessity* to work out font conflicts on anything other
than a default installation. The only thing now that seems to come up
is the Word font corruption problem, which only seems to afflict Arial,
and not really that often. Still, fonts not showing up may indicate
some kind of conflict which, if you have a lot of fonts installed from
different foundries may be your situation. I don't use Font Book so not
sure how effective its "resolve duplicate" and "validation" utilities
are, but if it is not doing the trick then another font management
utility may be your answer.
Also, I seem to remember Myriad comes in two versions: a full set of
Postscript fonts (i.e. Myriad Roman, Myriad Italic, Myriad Bold etc),
and Myriad Pro which comes as a single typeface (can't remember but
think this may the Opentype version). I use the Postscript ones. You
have to make sure you have both the font files and the suitcase as I'm
not sure that Word would recognise just the Postscript files.
