Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

Applying and Removing Keywords
Keywords apply to the font itself, so the font displays the same keywords in all sets and all libraries. Since
keywords can be used as search criteria and smart set criteria, make sure the changes you make are
appropriate.
Fonts can have as many keywords as necessary to distinguish them from other fonts. For example, a font may
have three keywords to indicate the client name, job name, and project manager that the font goes with. When a
keyword is no longer appropriate for a font—for example, if you’ve finished the project the keyword is
indicating—you can remove the keyword from the font. Fonts do not need to have keywords, so you can remove
some or all of the keywords from a font.
To apply or remove keywords:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Keywords from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Fonts pane, click to select a font or family.
4. Check a keyword to apply it to selected fonts. Uncheck a keyword to remove it.
NOTE
If you want to apply keywords to a collection of fonts immediately after adding them, add the fonts as a set.
Select all the fonts in the set and then apply the keywords. You can then delete the set if you want. The fonts
remain in the library and retain their keywords, even if you delete the set.
Modifying Keywords
When you edit keywords, changes affect fonts with that keyword in all libraries.
Creating Keywords
To start using keywords efficiently, it helps to first create a list of keywords. You can then add more keywords as
necessary.
To create a keyword:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Keywords from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Add Attributes button.
4. A new Untitled Keyword is inserted alphabetically in the list. The keyword is automatically highlighted so
you can type a new name (such as a client name or job number). The new keyword displays alphabetically
in the list and may be applied to fonts in any library.
Editing Keywords
You can change the text of a keyword. Any changes you make to keywords applied to all fonts that have the
selected keyword.
To edit a keyword:
1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane in Suitcase Fusion.
2. Choose Keywords from the drop-down menu.
3. Double-click a keyword’s name and type new text.
