Help with Extensis Suitcase!

Help! I'm getting this message with around 90% of fonts I try to activate:

I have some fonts activated alreayd, but Suitcase suddenly decided it didn't want to activate any more fonts. I've had this for a while now. Trying to get really resourcefull design with only the fonts I have activated already.

Anyone had this before?

If you're seeing that 90% of the time, then 90% of your fonts are in your User->Library->Fonts folder. What version of Suitcase and OS? When I installed mine, Suitcase went though all the font haunts and sorted them out. You should have a Suitcase set call Managed fonts, one called System fonts. You'll need to take the fonts out of the System set to get rid of this warning. You can do that right from the Suitcase pane by dragging fonts in and out of sets. Make a new sset called duplicates and drag dues into there, out of your system set. A little cleaning up and you should be good to go.
