- That was the first thing I tried with 7.1 and you most certainly can add
- or remove fonts from the fonts folder while other programs are running.
- You just have to quit and relaunch your applications for the font folder
- changes to be reflected in the Font menu.

- I've heard claim that Suitcase II will allow you to open and close font
- files and the changes will be reflected in application Font menus without
- quitting and relaunching. However, I have not been able to get this to
- happen using SuitCase II 1.2.12. I find that I still have to quit and
- relaunch an application before its font menu reflects any changes in the
- fonts opened by Suitcase.
