Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

Adding Fonts
You can add fonts via drag-and-drop or choose File > Add Fonts. While adding fonts, Suitcase Fusion scans
them to collect information and check for corruption.
NOTE
Suitcase Fusion does not add orphan bitmap or orphan outline fonts. In addition, some repairs are made as
fonts are added. See Resolving Problem Fonts for more information.
Adding Fonts Individually
Suitcase Fusion makes it easy to add fonts by searching through volumes, folders, and files to locate font files
for you.
To add fonts to a library:
1. Launch Suitcase Fusion.
2. Select any item containing fonts—your hard drive, CDs, flash drives, network volumes, folders, or files.
3. Drag your selection into the Fonts pane to add them to the selected library. You can also drag fonts onto
a library name or into a set within a library.
Adding Fonts as Sets
To retain any current organization you have for fonts—for example, if you have folders of fonts for specific
projects—you can add the fonts as sets. Each folder becomes a set with the same name and contents as the
folder.
To add fonts as a set, do one of the following:
• Choose File > Add Fonts, or press Command-L. Use the Choose fonts to add to library [name] dialog
box to locate and select a folder of fonts, then click Add. A set is automatically created from the folder
you select.
NOTE: On Mac OS X, the Add Fonts menu item change depending on what is selected in the Libraries
pane. It may read Add Fonts to Set or Add Fonts to Library.
• Select folders on the desktop that contain fonts. Drag the folders onto a library in the Libraries pane of
Suitcase Fusion 3. You can also drag the folder to an existing set to create a nested set.
NOTE
Suitcase Fusion 3 lets you create nested sets (sets within sets), but it does not automatically create them as you
add folders of fonts. All the fonts within a folder will become a single set even if many folders of fonts are nested
within the first folder. If you need to add nested folders as individual sets, select those folders and add them
independently.
Adding Fonts Temporarily
Temporary fonts are managed by Suitcase Fusion until you log off or restart your computer. This is useful if you
have fonts that are used only with a specific project and that you may not want on your system after working on
the project.
By default, temporary fonts are added to Suitcase Fusion and left in place. Temporary fonts are never added to
the Font Vault, so you do not need to change the Vault preference before adding temporary fonts.
Temporary fonts are listed as a blue dot with box around it in the status column of the Fonts, Sets and Preview
panes. Deactivated temporary fonts only show the box around the empty activation icon.
