How to Uninstall Font Suitcase
When creating documents on your computer, using different fonts can change the look and feel of your work. In the Macintosh operating system, fonts are packaged together in a file called a font suitcase. These suitcases can be downloaded from many different sources and installed for use in all of the programs that use fonts on your computer. In order to uninstall a font suitcase, you must first open the Font Book application and select the fonts you want to remove.
