Subject: Adobe fonts look ugly in FrameMaker?!

Following the instructions in the FrameMaker documentation, I successfully
uploaded a few Adobe fonts straight from the Adobe disks on our Mac and
installed them in FrameMaker.  Everything went well, and they seem to print
fine on paper.

The screen fonts, however, are kind of ugly.  Futura Light and Book are
mere wisps and are difficult to read (on screen).  Caslon 540 has several
characters show up as black blocks; which ones show up that way varies
with the current zoom level.

How come the fonts that come with FrameMaker look fine at all magnifications
and point sizes, while the genuine Adobe screen fonts look terrible?
Has anyone else had this experience?
