Applying Different Foundries to Fonts
The foundry applies to the font itself, so the font displays the same foundry in all sets and all libraries. Since the
foundry can be used as search and smart set criteria, make sure the changes you make are appropriate for all
libraries.
NOTE: Applying a different foundry to a font will change the font's family as well (View > Group Fonts by Family).
In order for fonts to be listed in the same family, they need to have the same foundry. Changing a font's foundry does
not affect the actual font files; the new foundry information is used only with Suitcase Fusion.
To apply a different foundry:
1. If necessary, click Attributes to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Foundries from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Fonts pane, click to select a font, family (View > Group Fonts by Family) or multiple fonts.
4. Check a foundry to apply it to selected fonts.
NOTE: If you want to apply a foundry to a collection of fonts immediately after adding them, add the fonts as a set.
Select all the fonts in the set and then apply the foundry. You can then delete the set if you want. (The fonts remain in
the library and retain the new foundry, even if you delete the set.)
Reverting to the Default Foundry
You can revert fonts to their default foundries. Reverting a font's foundry affects all libraries that contain the font.
Since the foundry can be used as search and smart set criteria, make sure reverting to the default foundry is
appropriate for all libraries.
To revert to the default foundry:
1. If necessary, click Attributes to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Foundries from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Fonts pane, click to select a font or family (View > Group Fonts by Family).
4. Click the Reset Attributes button .
Modifying Foundries
You can create new foundries, edit custom foundries, and delete custom foundries. The default foundries cannot be
modified. Changes to foundries affect all libraries.
Creating Custom Foundries
If you need additional foundries to distinguish all your fonts, you can create an unlimited number of new foundries.
To create a custom foundry:
1. If necessary, click Attributes to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Foundries from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Add Attributes button.
4. A new Untitled Foundry is inserted alphabetically in the list. The foundry is automatically highlighted so you
can type a new name. The new foundry displays alphabetically in the list and may be applied to fonts in any
library.
Editing Custom Foundries
You can change the names of custom foundries, but the default foundries cannot be edited. The changes apply to all
the fonts with that custom foundry applied. Be sure any changes you make to foundries are appropriate for all
libraries.
To edit a custom foundry:
1. If necessary, click Attributes to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Foundries from the drop-down menu.
3. Double-click a custom foundry's name and type new text.
