Creating and Activating Sets
Although not required, a good thing to do before you start
creating sets in Suitcase is to group your fonts, as much as
possible, into folders that reflect the way you think youʼll group
them into sets in Suitcase. By doing this you can easily create
Suitcase Sets by simply dragging folders containing fonts into the
Sets pane.
You can easily use and benefit from Suitcase without following
this suggestion, but since youʼll be locating and organizing
fonts from within Suitcase anyway, it makes sense to have them
organized on your hard drive as well. The benefit, besides having
fonts that are easy to open and use, is that they will be easier to
locate on your hard drive, should you ever need to.
Using Drag and Drop: You can easily add fonts or folders
of fonts to sets by dragging and dropping them from folders
anywhere on your system. You can also drag and drop within
Suitcase to move fonts between sets, or to add a shortcut of one
set to another set.
To create a Set:
1. Open Suitcase by selecting it from the Start menu,
or double-click the Suitcase application icon in the
Suitcase folder.
2. Click the “New Set” button, or choose “New Set”
from the File menu, or press Ctrl+N, or right-click in
the Sets pane and choose “New Set” from the menu.
A new Set is displayed in the Sets window and assigned
the name “Untitled Set.” The name of the set is highlighted
so that you can easily change it.
Add fonts to the Set as described on page 47.

2. Locate individual font files and drag them into the Sets
pane.
A new Set is displayed in the Sets window and assigned
the name “Untitled Set.” The individual fonts will be
added to the set. The name of the set is highlighted so that
you can easily change it.
Tip
To add fonts to Suitcase without
adding them to a set, see page 41.
