Suitcase Fusion Problem

[paddy]

I'm having an issue with Extensis Suitcase Fusion. Some of the fonts are no showing up in the preview pane and cannot be activated. They also have a strange icon beside their name (see image).

Anyone know how to fix this?

Paddy,

The icon that you're seeing indicates that you're viewing a dFont file that is in one of your System Font folders. Since it's a Wingdings file, it's possible that the font does not contain the glyphs that you're trying to preview.

If the problem goes away with a restart, it could also be a system font cache problem where the operating system has a corrupt version of the font.

If you are having more problems, I recommend calling our technical support representatives. It's free to registered users. North America: (503) 274-7030 Outside the US: +44 (0) 1604-654-270

Download and run Fontfinagler. It'll purge your font cache, and may do the trick.

I use Font Explorer from Linotype. It's free and rarely has those types of issues.
It also has a large number of features that Font Book lacks, including a utility
which will which will purge system and application font caches. I've only used
both of these with 10.3.x and 10.4.x

I too recommend swithcing over to Linotype, it works great with CS2 and CS3

but if your only problem is wingdings, don't even bother trying to fix it.
