I've been messing around with a legacy Quicksilver machine and managed to get it booted to a 128GB Lexar SSD using an SATA/PATA adapter. I thought I had copied everything over from the old drive (drag copied) and it boots.
At first it booted than hung so I embarked on the routine of extension troubleshooting and managed to get it booted.
All the old software runs fine however...
When using freehand all the fonts load fine but they display in bitmap form. I have obviously disabled something that is in charge of rendering fonts on screen but I have no idea what and my memory refuses to divulge further information.
Can anyone help. Does Suitcase render as well as organise? I can only remember that it was a pain in the A back in the day.
Any help gratefully received.

extensis suitcase should be innocent (except for its own TT font face preview window), i rather suspect that this has to be set somewhere in freehand (but i dont really know.)

What format are the fonts? You typically used TrueType fonts unless you were a prepress professional where PostScript fonts were preferred. The Mac OS doesn't have a PostScript interpreter, so PostScript fonts will display using their bitmap versions, unless you have installed Adobe Type Manager.

You can convert fonts between formats (or test their compatibility) using Metamorphosis Pro.
