Using Your New Font Library

This section describes additional steps you may need to take to use your new font library created by Font Box. Reconfigure Font Management Software As Font Box executes, it creates new font files, therefore, if you are using a font management utility - such as Suitcase, Master Juggler or Adobe Type Manager 4.0 Deluxe - to open and close your fonts, you need to re-configure your font sets. Please refer to the documentation for your specific utility if you need further instructions. Build New Preferences If you are using font extensions such as Adobe Type Reunion or Now WYSIWYG Menus, you need to delete their associated preference files from the Preferences folder in the System folder, then restart your system. When you restart, the extension will build a new preference file using information from the new fonts. Stay Under 128 Suitcases in the Fonts Folder If you've chosen to place your new fonts in the Fonts folder in the System folder, you may exceed the 128 maximum limit. If so, Font Box displays a message explaining the situation. If you have exceed the limit, you have two choices: Consolidate your fonts into less than 128 suitcases by dragging fonts out of one suitcase and into another, or Move the fonts into another folder and use font management software to open and close the fonts. Recover Custom Bitmapped Fonts Some applications install and rely on bitmapped screen fonts that have no PostScript printer-font counterparts. Font Box identifies such fonts as orphaned and by default, does not include them in your new font library. If this occurs, you can open the 'Old Fonts' folder and drag the bitmapped fonts back into the Fonts folder or re-install them from their original media. Classify Uncategorized Fonts If Font Box cannot uniquely categorize certain fonts, it places them in a folder called 'Fonts to Sort'. You can then move these fonts to whatever location you prefer. Delete afm Files Some manufacturers include afm files with their fonts. You can delete these unnecessary files by following these steps: From Mac OS Finder, select the Find command from the File menu. Change the search settings to 'name ends with .afm' and click the Find button. Select the resulting files and drag them to the Trash.
