I read somewhere in the net that the use of NFNTs obviated the necessity of different font (like Bold Courier and Italic Courier) from all appearing in the font menu. Mine do, and I'm wondering of there's any way to tell the system to just use the font called "B Courier Bold" when I'm entering courier text and hit command-B. Is this able to be done now? I use Nisus 2.03. jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.

Jeff -- There's a handy utility that comes with Suitcase II (actually, there are a couple of handy utilities, but one in particular) called Font Harmonizer. it will take your screen font files and, when used in collusion with Font/DA Mover 3.8, will merge styled faces into a single typeface family. It has the added benefit of assigning NFNTs to those fonts without them, thereby eliminating font number conflicts. Great for large font files in particular (imagine your font menu shrinking to 25% original length...). The package also includes Suitcase II, the absolute king of System resource handlers, and Font/Sound Valet, a handy compression utility that reduced 4 megs of screen fonts down to 2.2 megs. Absolutely amazing. Buy em' all. -mike disclaimer: i'm not affiliated with the product other than as a maniacal supporter and absolute fan.

But... does it assign SNDs to to events as MasterJuggler will? I've heard great things about SuitII, but I've been very happy with F/DA Juggler Plus, and I'm thinking of upgrading to MasterJuggler. I lean to Master over SuitII because of this (this way, I can use SNDs instead of the files SoundMaster forces you to; maybe SoundMaster 3.0 is now stable enough to convince me to give it another try. Opinions, anyone?

I looked at MasterJuggler, even tried it out. For some reason I never fathomed, it kept bombing on opening the third suitcase file. I specifically wanted it for the ability to assign sounds to functions. Also, when I saw a friend of mine working it, using it, it looked pretty neat. But I couldn't get around this bomb problem. So, I just chucked it and went back to Suitcase II, what I had been using very successfully before and since. It's all what you know, I guess. But you're right--I don't think there's a "king" of resource handlers, they're both EXCELLENT pieces of software, it's what they DO that's kingly. Apple should have built such functions into its system software. Then again, maybe not........look at MacroMaker.......hmmm, I bet we got a better deal with Juggler/Suitcase after all..... --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
