So it's a problem with the Latex part of your setup.

Can you post your test and log file as well?

Here's a shot in the dark:

> \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1998/06/01]
> \ProvidesPackage{garacond}
>     [2003/10/13 Garamond Condensed font package]
>
> \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}

(actually, this is the default value of \familydefault)

> \newcommand{\pgm}{\fontfamily{pgm}\selectfont}

Do you happen to type "\pgm" in the preamble? Latex does all the font 
setup at \begin{document}, so it would overide this. That's why you'd 
normally use something like this in a style file:

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pgm}
