- posting my response here:

- >In article <1992Nov21.001428.19269@ncselxsi.uucp> you write:

-
- That's an obvious one. I *never* have used Font/Sound Valet. And in this
- case I installed Suitcase when only the Apple-supplied fonts were present.
- I didn't have any suitcases other than the factory pre-loaded ones.

-
- In my case the hang occurs when I install Suitcase and re-boot. Haven't
- had a chance to even open Suitcase. And I started with a "virgin" copy of
- Suitcase and updated it.
-
- >3) Suitcase will not open fonts that are in the Fonts Folder. If you want

-
- That's actually the way I have things set up. I have a separate "Fonts"
- folder at the "root" level and have several folders in that... Adobe
- Postscript, Bitstream TrueType, etc.
-
- >Sorry if these don't apply to you, but these seem to be the three most

-
- Thanks for your help Jay. It's just that those things didn't seem to
- apply. I guess that I can always call 5th Generation... :-)
