Going from the find font under the type menu doesn't make any change. The drop down I was using is a menu bar short cut that saves time pulling down menu bar items.
This is what I saw under type:
I also went under window/type and tables and the font is still bracketed as seen below:
None of the ways to select/change a font do not work. If you recall, I can not even create a new next block using Slimbach and have it be able to be selected in these problem documents and Slimbach is usable in other documents new or non-converted from PM documents.
Sorry to have been wasting your time. I will just have to recreate these documents in new ID files and blame the problem on the Adobe converter for PM files to ID (at least with those that used Slimbach).
