Suitcases

Suitcases containing (“referring to”, if speaking more precisely) Type 1

fonts have no major differences from suitcases containing TrueType fonts

('sfnt' resources), so please refer to the TrueType section above for

information about suitcase manipulations and font suitcase properties.

The only additional option that may be useful when converting PC Type 1

fonts is to force TransType to generate suitcases by checking and using the

MSMenuName fields in the .inf files. This option, named Group

Macintosh fonts by MSMenuName, is located on the Font Families

Packaging Page of the Preferences dialog:

It may be useful also to set the file extension for suitcase files on the

General/Font Files Naming Page of the Preferences dialog:

This file name extension is not necessary but it helps to distinguish the

suitcases and the accompanying printer font files in MacOS X.

 Note: dfont extension is added automatically when you set Mac

TrueType (dfont) as the destination format in the Properties dialog. You

do not need to set this extension in Preferences.
