Does anyone know what the Font Porter does which is included in
Abobe Type Manager?  It appears as a init during startup but
doesn't show up in the control panel.  Any comments would be
appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

The Font Porter INIT included with ATM will automatically open up and
install any font suitcases that are in your system folder.

I use it by putting all of my "oddball" bitmap fonts in suitcases rather
than installing them into the system.  That way I can shorten my font
menus by simply deselecting font porter with the INIT cdev.

Of course, if you own suitcase or master juggler, you already have the 
functionality of font porter (and more -- I wish I had suitcase :-(  ).
