Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

Working with Sets
Within each library, you can group fonts into “sets” for specific clients, jobs, applications, or templates. An ad
agency, for example, might create sets for client names and job numbers, while a magazine publisher might
create sets for each issue or page spread.
Sets contain references to the original font, so placing a font into a set does not copy or in any way increase the
size of your font library.
Sets display in the Libraries pane within each library, and they help you organize fonts within a library. Sets can
contain one or many fonts, as well as other nested sets.
You can create as many sets as you need, place sets within other sets, and place the same font in more than
one set.
Once fonts are in a set, you can manipulate the fonts as one unit. For example, you can activate all the fonts,
deactivate all the fonts, or collect all the fonts for delivery to a service bureau.
Creating Sets
You can create an unlimited number of sets in each library, and you can place an unlimited number of fonts into
each set. You can create empty sets and drag fonts into them, you can add fonts as sets, and create sets from
open documents.
Creating Sets and Adding Fonts
Sets are created within the selected library and contain only fonts within that library.
To create a new set, you can do one of three things:
• Choose File > New Set.
• Press Command-N
• Click the Create Set button.
The new, untitled set’s name is automatically highlighted so you can change its name.
To add fonts to a set:
1. In the Fonts pane, select the fonts you want to add to the set.
2. Drag the fonts to the set.
You can also drag fonts from the desktop into a set. This adds them to both the library and the set at the same
time.
