As you can see, the presentation of different kinds of fonts in this list
depends on the font’s platform and type. The following icons are used:

the icon) to see the contents of the suitcase. Click with the Ctrl key
depressed to open all the suitcases. Click again with the Ctrl key down to
close them all

suitcase. It is possible to add a Macintosh Type 1 font without the
corresponding suitcase

The Source list has two main columns: the font file name and the font

this is a ‘sfnt’ resource located inside a Macintosh font suitcase and doesn’t
have its own file name.
