- Sorry about that...every once in a while, my newsreader will drop my
- comments...
-
- I believe that I was asking if you had font suitcases in the Fonts Folder
- opened via Suitcase or not... Suitcase 2.1.2 will not open fonts in that
- folder _unless_ they were opened when System 7.1 was installed. To check this,
- disable Suitcase; restart; pull all of the fonts out of the Fonts Folder;
- restore Suitcase; close any fonts that were opened; put them back into the
- closed System Folder (which will put them away) or drag them to the Fonts
- Folder.
-
- Hope that helps!
