Example: To sort by Classification:

1. Select a library or set to work in.

2. Right-click in the column header of the Font list and choose Class from the shortcut menu.

If the Class entry in the menu has a checkmark, then just click outside the menu to cancel the operation.

3. Locate the Class column in the Font list. Click and hold in the Class column header, drag the column left or

right to where you want it to be displayed, and release the mouse button.

4. Click on the Class column head to sort the font list by Classification. Click again to sort in the opposite

direction.

NOTE

A double hyphen (

) entry for Classification means “unknown” or “unspecified.”

Applying and Removing Font Attributes

Changes you make are applied to the font only within the context of Suitcase Fusion; the physical font files are

not modified.

Changes are displayed in all sets and libraries. Since attributes can be used as search and Smart Set criteria,

make sure the changes you make are appropriate for all occurrences.

To change attributes applied to fonts:

1. If necessary, click the Attributes button to display the Attributes pane.

2. Select the attribute category you want to change from the drop-down menu at the top of the Attributes

pane.

3. Select a library or set to work in.

4. Select one or more fonts or families in the Fonts list.

To view the Fonts list by family, choose View > Group Fonts by Family.

5. Check the box next to an attribute to apply it to the selected fonts, or clear the checkbox to remove the

attribute from the selected fonts.

For Keywords, you can create a new keyword and apply it; click the [ + ] button at the bottom of the

Attributes pane, enter the new keyword, then check its box.

NOTE

You can’t remove Classifications or Foundries from a font. You can either change the attribute or assign the

double hyphen (

at the top of the list of attributes) to indicate “unassigned.”

TIP: To apply an attribute to multiple fonts as soon as you import them, import them as a set, select all the fonts

in the set, apply the attribute (or attributes), then delete the set. Fonts imported as a set remain in the library that

the set is imported into. See Creating a set from a folder of fonts on page 45 for more information.

Reverting to Default Attributes

You can restore the default values for an attribute for any font. Since attributes can be used as Smart Set

criteria, make sure that reverting to the default value will not interfere with Smart Sets.

NOTE: You can’t restore the default Keywords for a font.
