Sets
Sets are simply collections of fonts. Sets are an organizational
tool for you to use to group fonts in ways that make them easier
for you to work with. You use Sets to tell Suitcase “activate all
these fonts at the same time,” rather than having to specify activa-
tion instructions for each font individually.
Sets Example: You might create a Set containing all of the fonts
that you need for a particular project. When you are ready to work
on the project, you can activate the necessary fonts, all at the same
time, by opening the Suitcase application and clicking a button to
indicate that you want to open that Set. When youʼre finished with
the project, you can deactivate the fonts through Suitcase, or you
can have the fonts closed automatically when the system is shut
down. If you will be working on the project for awhile, you can
instruct Suitcase to always activate those fonts at system startup
time. Then, when the project is over (days, weeks, or months later)
you can tell Suitcase to stop activating those fonts. Since you
already have the font set created, you can open those fonts again at
any time, simply by instructing Suitcase to do so.
After fonts have been added to a set in Suitcase, you can work
with them as a complete set, or you can work with individual
fonts in the set.
Organizing Fonts for Suitcase
You can use Suitcase to manage TrueType, PostScript, and
OpenType fonts.
Important: In order for Suitcase to work with fonts they must not
be in the Windows Fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts), and they
must not be under the control of Adobe Type Manager. See pages
30 and 35 for more information.
TrueType: TrueType fonts can be in any directory, in any order.
PostScript: PostScript Fonts must be paired. That is, both the
.PFM and the .PFB file must be located in the same directory
for Suitcase to use them properly. See page 33 for additional
information on PostScript Fonts.
OpenType: OpenType fonts can be in any directory, in any order.
Tip
If you are currently using Adobe
Type Manager (ATM) Deluxe
to manage your fonts, you will
need to replace it with ATM Light
(provided on the Extensis CD
that shipped with your product).
Instructions are given on page 38.
