Associating PostScript Data Files
On the Macintosh Type 1 fonts are defined in two files: a suitcase file that
contains data for the whole font family and a separate PostScript data file
for each font. So if you have a family of Type 1 fonts containing 3 styles you
will have 4 files: a suitcase file and a PostScript data file for each style.
The Mac OS automatically associates data files and suitcases using special
rules based on file name. However during conversion of Macintosh files
into MacBinary or BinHex format the files may be renamed and automatic
association will not be possible. Fonts for which TransType cannot
automatically find data files are highlighted in red in the Source Fonts list.
To manually associate font data files with a suitcase you must press the
Attach button. You will then see a file dialog where you must select one or
more Macintosh files which contain font data files. This is not easy since
the file names are usually truncated. Then try adding all files that you
suspect contain font data. TransType will open the selected files and try to
associate the font data files that they contain with one of the suitcases
currently open in the Source Fonts list.
