I ran into the same trouble. While Font Harmony (v1.1) had no trouble
"harmonizing" the fonts that came on the ATM v1.0 disk, it couldn't harmonize
those on the Plus Pack. It seems that Adobe shipped the Courier/Times/
Helvetica/Symbol fonts on the ATM disk in the old FONT format, while the Plus
Pack was in the new NFNT format.
So, I decided to try the alternative mentioned in the MacUser article: the
Font/DA Utility application that comes with MasterJuggler. Font/DA Utility
(v.1.50) had no trouble combining the Plus Pack fonts.
For some other screen fonts I retrieved from the info-mac archives on
sumex-aim, I found I *first* had to run Suitcase's Font Harmony application to
Check/Fix the "illegal" oddities in the Adobe suitcase files (see the Font
Harmony help info), then run MasterJuggler's Font/DA Utility to combine them.
I don't know why Font Harmony is more obstinate than Font/DA Utility, but since
I had both available, I never went to the trouble of asking the Suitcase folks
about it.
