Suitcase fonts! Now that's a format I have not seen in a long time.

I had a ton of suitcase fonts way back in the day (probably still only on the order of a hundred or so, though, not thousands), but I can't remember the last time I saw one. I bet I still have a bunch archived somewhere. I vaguely remember using some tool to convert those to TTFs at some point. Is that something you should do at some point just in case those kinds of tools disappear or stop working on modern systems? IIRC, suitcase font files store data in the old-school resource fork, and that means they're at high risk of vanishing forever if you ever copy/move them to a not-macOS device, FAT/NTFS external drive, or network share.
