If you are using System 7.1 or later, all the styles of a font family should be in the same font suitcase.
Fonts DO NOT look correct if:
* All the styles of a font are 'loose' in the fonts folder
* If some styles are in a font suitcase, and other styles are loose in the
fonts folder
Fonts DO look correct if:
* All the styles of a font family are in the same suitcase
* The styles that were previously loose are removed from the fonts folder
entirely
The work around to solve the problem is to make sure all fonts on a specific font family such as Lucida Bright are in the same font suitcase and not loose in the fonts folder, or split among different suitcases. You can have multiple font families in the same suitcase, but do not split them among suitcases. The only limit on a suitcase is that it must be less than 16 MB in size.
To create a new font suitcase, open the Fonts folder and duplicate an existing font suitcase. Delete the contents, and rename the suitcase. Copy the fonts of the font family you want into the newly created suitcase.
