i'm wonderin if anyone can help me with suitcase....
i'm on jag still with suitcase and its slower than a 3 legged turtle.
i just loaded a folder of 391 fonts and when i open illustrator first its slow as fuck, then when i create some type the spinning ball comes up and takes forever to show the font list.
ideas?
I have panther, but i've been hearing that suitcase x1 doesnt really work with it and fontbook sucks the big one.

Cant help you but suitcase does suck donkey balls. I tried to install all my fonts and the thing practically collapsed.
When is Adobe upgrading ATM?

yup, suitcase sucks ALMOST as much as fontbook... apple needs to come out with a "fontbook pro" that didn't suck, and charge 50 bucks for it... they'd make a killing...
and adobe has no plans to bring atm to osX... i think i'm just going to stop using fonts...

Give FontAgent Pro a try. Been using it on Panther without a hitch. Not as great as ATM Deluxe on Classic, but it's as close as you'll get.

suitcase works fine if you have good fonts.
try cleaning out all of you fonts from before 97. i had the same problems until i cleaned out everything and installed the new Adobe font Folio. Now i have no problems at all. Starts up fine and doesn't stall anymore.
Suitcase runs like poo when you have a bunch of corrupted fonts.

suitcase works fine here on the alley cat™ over a thousand fonts and no probs.
just get rid of your shit fonts so you dont get the beach ball

also might want to upgrade your suitecase. occasionally software companies upgrade their shit to make things work better. i have suitcase 10.2.2 running and its fine.

Ill put up a post when I get this puppy running fine.
$90 seems pretty reasonable for it, its got a search option, which suitcase sorely needed (or I just couldn't find).If it doesn;t work I may just scrap all my fonts and just use helvetica. Or maybe just Comic Sans.

hmmm, I dunno, its been done before. I think I will stay with Sand and Courier.
Imagine the joy of reading a 48 page brochure set in Sand.
Yup, thats my final two.
