You may wish to review Font Management in Mac OS X: Best Practices Guide, available from the Extensis
website (
http://www.extensis.com/downloads/documents/font-management-mac-best-practices/). This
document contains many helpful hints about cleaning your system font folders and setting up your system for
optimal font usage.

Disabling Other Font Managers
If you are using a font manager other than Suitcase Fusion, be sure to disable it completely before installing
Suitcase Fusion. In general, you should uninstall the application to be sure that all of its components are
deactivated.
Follow the instruction for the other font manager to remove all components and to ensure that it doesn’t interfere
with normal operation of Suitcase Fusion.
If you are using Universal Type Client
You cannot use Suitcase Fusion and Universal Type Client on the same system, and Suitcase Fusion does not
connect to Universal Type Server.
If you are using an older version of Suitcase or Suitcase Fusion
If your version of Suitcase or Suitcase Fusion is older than version 13, you will need to uninstall the older version
before installing Suitcase Fusion 4. Otherwise, you can leave your old version of Suitcase Fusion installed and
upgrade it in place.
To determine your software version, click the application menu (immediately to the right of the Apple menu) and
choose About <application name>.
If your version number is 13.x or 14.x (Suitcase Fusion 2 or 3), then you can upgrade just by installing Suitcase
Fusion 4.
If your version number is 12.x, see Upgrading from Suitcase Fusion for Macintosh on page 7.
