Fonts In 10.3 1

[RyanPace]

I am using Suitcase X1 on a Mac with OS 10.3
I found a post on deleting fonts from all of the unwanted font locations and did this. I then created a font folder inside my user and copied our font library (thousands sorted by type and name) from another existing system 9.2 machine.

Suitcase will not install many (most) of these fonts. I dont think this is a "Suitcase" problem, because when I browse to the font folders using the finder, OSX does not recognize the suitcase icon (font icon, not program)containing the screen fonts. It only shows a file. If I try and open this file (which should be a folder) FontBook Opens.

I am somewhat new to OSX, Is there a reason that copying my font library is not working? And what do I need to do to get OSX to recognize the suitcase icon as a folder and install these?

I am using Suitcase 10.2.2 with Panther at home and Jaguar at work and haven't had your problem. I'll run through the method I used to install the fonts & maybe it'll work for you as well.

Created a font folder on my hard drive (not in my user folder) & copied all my fonts from backup cds into the folder.

Ran Font Doctor & had it read all the fonts & create a new set with the fonts in folders - A, B, C, etc.

Opened Suitcase

Opened folder A

"Command/A" to select all the fonts

"Drag & drop" them into Suitcase, then B fonts, and so on.

Set up the preferences in Suitcase to allow it to override system fonts.
