While we're on the subject of fonts I have a question. Our company has many older postscript fonts that we use and we still get them from our customers as well. While these fonts work fine in OS X I have an issue with viewing and working with the contents of suitcases. Many times a customer would make a custom suitcase which contained fonts we already had on our system. This caused conflicts and under OS 9 I could open the suitcase and remove the unnecessary fonts but in OS X I understand this is not possible. It really slows me down when I'm in the middle of a project and have to reboot my machine to check fonts. Does anyone know of an application that allows you to view and manipulate the contents of font suitcases under OS X? -- Thanks! Beth
