Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

Applying Different Classifications to Fonts
The classification applies to the font itself, so each font displays the same classification in all sets and all
libraries. Since the classification can be used as search and smart set criteria, make sure the changes you make
are appropriate for all libraries.
NOTE: Changing a font’s foundry does not affect the actual font; this information is only saved in Suitcase
Fusion 3.
To apply a different classification:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Classifications from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Fonts pane, click to select a font, family, or multiple fonts.
4. Check a classification to apply it to selected fonts.
Reverting to the Default Classification
You can revert fonts to their default classifications. Reverting a font’s classification affects all libraries that
contain the font. Since classification can be used as search and smart set criteria, make sure reverting to the
default classifications is appropriate for all libraries.
To revert to the default classification:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Classifications from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Fonts pane, click to select a font or family.
4. Click the Reset Attributes button .
Modifying Classifications
You can create new classifications, edit custom classifications, and delete custom classifications. The default
classifications cannot be modified. Changes to classifications affect all libraries.
Creating Custom Classifications
If you need additional classifications to distinguish all your fonts, you can create an unlimited number of custom
classifications.
To create a custom classification:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Classifications from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Add Attributes button.
4. A new Untitled Classification is inserted alphabetically in the list. The classification is automatically
highlighted so you can type a new name.
The new classification displays alphabetically in the list and may be applied to fonts in any library.
