How to open SUIT file?

The most common problem when using Macintosh Font Suitcase is that a specific SUIT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SUIT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SUIT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Apple Font Book

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apple Font Book is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Font Book in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SUIT files.

Programs to open SUIT file

Remember to download programs supporting SUIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Apple Font Book with SUIT files

If, despite the installed application, the SUIT file does not start in the Apple Font Book application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Font Book application as the default for handling the SUIT file.

Step 3. Update Apple Font Book to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Apple Font Book program, it is possible that Macintosh Font Suitcase requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SUIT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SUIT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SUIT file. However, remember that not every infected SUIT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SUIT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SUIT files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SUIT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SUIT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SUIT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
