- Where are the fonts located that you are opening?
- Suitcase 2.1.2 should come with a warning that fonts that are opened
- in the Fonts Folder should not be open with Suitcase. If you're not sure,
- drag all of your fonts out (preferably into another folder), then go to
- Suitcase, close them (if necessary), and remove them from the group (by
- using Cut or Clear). Then put them back into the Fonts Folder.
-
- My suggestion (which kinda defeats the purpose of the Fonts folder) is to
- create a PostScript Fonts folder, and move the PostScript Fonts and their
- bitmaps into them, then Open them with Suitcase. (It gets around that
- nasty 128-font file limit in the Font Folder, too...)
-
- Hope this helps!
