What is Symantec Suitcase 3.0?

Suitcase now has an easier-to-use interface and powerful new features that help you organize and manage your fonts, and give you more font-handling capabilities than ever before.

Why you need Suitcase

If you haven’t used Suitcase, most of your fonts are probably in your System Folder, which means the Macintosh OS opens ail your fonts every time you start up your Macintosh. Having all your fonts open all the time can be a problem because you probably have fonts open that you don’t need, consuming memory and slowing down your Macintosh. Or, you may even have so many fonts that the Macintosh OS simply cannot open them all.

Suitcase solves these problems by letting you keep fonts (as many as you want) outside of the System Folder. You can still access them conveniently, plus you can turn them on only when you need them, and then turn them off as soon as you’re finished with them, releasing Macintosh memory resources and helping your Macintosh run better.

What you can do with Suitcase

In addition to keeping your fonts outside your System Folder where you can turn them on and off as needed, Suitcase also allows you to:

• Combine font files (or font folders, font suitcases, or sound files) into sets, so you can open and close groups of fonts as needed
• Have Suitcase open specific fonts (and sounds) when you launch an application
• Have Suitcase open specific fonts whenever you start your Macintosh
• Open fonts temporarily
• Access fonts on remote hard drives
• Quickly determine which fonts are open on your Macintosh
