![]() ![]() You can select any font set you’ve already created directly from the Dock. Simply clicking on and holding the icon in the Dock will make a list of your font sets appear on screen. But as long as the Suitcase icon is in the Dock, you don’t have to start the whole application in order to activate a particular font set. You activate this window via the Dock or the application icon in the Suitcase folder. You can hide or resize any of the three panes.Īfter your initial setup, the application window is hidden. ![]() Just as with previous versions, there are several customizable view settings. The default pane setup is the same as it has been since version 8: the Sets pane is at the top of the left-hand side, the Fonts pane is beneath that, and the Preview pane is on the right side. This uncomplicated window gives you all the font access and preview information you’ll need. As in the good old days, you can store a font where you want, and Suitcase sorts and accesses it for you.Īfter you install it, Suitcase 10.1 greets you with its familiar three-pane view. But with Suitcase 10.1, you don’t need to employ this complicated system. You can also keep fonts in their original OS 9 folders. There can be shared fonts and network fonts. And each of a Mac’s users can have a unique set of active fonts. For instance, you can have systemwide fonts in the System: Library: Fonts folder and at the same time have fonts in your User: Library: Fonts folder. ![]() In OS X’s confusing font-storage system, fonts can live in at least four different places. Suitcase 10.1 solves one of the most frustrating parts of handling fonts in Mac OS X–not knowing where to access and store them. With a familiar interface and a knack for doing what it’s supposed to–quick, on-demand activation and deactivation of fonts, with a minimum of conflicts–this new version is a winner. If you thought managing your fonts was confusing or difficult in Mac OS 9 and earlier, then the very idea of having to do it in Mac OS X may give you shivers: the new OS poses several font-management problems, and the built-in Font Panel looks more like an Aquafied version of System 4.1’s Font/DA Mover utility than a state-of-the-art font-management application. ![]()
