It is .ttf

Initally all I had in that family was the same ones as you had then found the
Light version which actually is Light and Light Italic.

I can continue using 4.0.5 just fine, just wanted to upgrade and found the
problem.

Same thing on the Mac. Same files in that folder also. I tried adding the
font files to that directory with no joy. Probably needs some process to

Guess I'll have to file a bug as it makes no sense to have the font appear in
one version and not in the other.
