- Try this: get suitcase II, and create several different suitcases filled
- with various types of fonts. For example, make a suitcase of business
- fonts, fun fonts, fancy fonts, etc. Autodoubler should compress those. Then,
- you can only open up whateer suitcase you want depending on what type
- of work you have to do.
-
- I haven't tried this, because my mac is too slow to be anything but annoying
- under autodoubler or diskdoubler, but in theory (*Ack*) it should work.
