Hi Tammy,
to check your problem I had to buy one font style, I choose the "Breuer Text regular" font. Now, after checking the font info, it is clearly a mistake in the font definition. Although the style name is "Regular", the font weight is set to "medium". If this is a problem, you should contact your font dealer or the maker of the font. Of course the setting could be modified with a font program, but this would be against license agreements, I guess. best regards - Tino H.
