Size limits for suitcases: No matter how many fonts you have in a single
suitcase, the Fonts folder counts the suitcase as a single unit. There’s no limit
to the number of fonts in a single suitcase, but the suitcase cannot be larger
than 16 megabytes.

Styled fonts

Most fonts that come with your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer have defined
styles. For example, if you open the Bookman font suitcase, you see files for
bold and italic versions of the font.

But fonts such as Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York do not come with
defined styles. If you open the Chicago font (contained in a suitcase in the
Fonts folder, which is inside your System Folder), you see only one file.

You can apply a style to a font like this by making a choice from the
appropriate menu (Fonts, Style, Format, or some similar menu, depending on
the application program). A font predesigned with a given style nearly always
looks better than a font with a computer-generated “derived” style.
