Suitcase is the only one I can think of offhand, as well as Nisus
(w/in the app) but I just wanted to warn anyone who thinks they
absolutely must have this feature. It is nice if you use Type 1 or
bitmaps; it absolutely *stinks* if you have TrueType fonts. I use
an si, but it takes a long time to put up all the fonts in their
styles. I do have about 25 fonts loaded, and am going to take out the
ones I use least, but the delay in generating the typefaces is
still disconcerting.
