Due to a new feature in the Font Manager in 7.1, it is now possible to split a family among multiple suitcase files, provided that the font number is the same in each suitcase file. That is, if you have Times 9 in one suitcase and Times 10 in another, Suitcase will not report a conflict if both have the same font number. (If the numbers are not the same — i.e., Suitcase reports a name conflict — they can be made the same simply by dragging the closed suitcases into and then out of the Fonts folder in the System folder.) However, only one suitcase (the one most recently opened) will be shown as the file containing Times in the Resources window, and the Show font dialog will show only the sizes/styles present in that one file.
Files should be opened either by being in the 7.1 Fonts folder or by Suitcase, but not both! That is, do not drag a suitcase that Suitcase has open, or that is in an open-at-startup set, into the Fonts folder.
