Well, it can smash fonts into individual pairs... great for fixiing suitcases that contain several bitmaps when you no longer have all the postscript portions. The big problem is that you can't automatically have it smash into these single pairs by "selecting all". You must always manually select a single bitmap within a suitcase, then "smash" it, then select another single bitmap, etc. ONE AT A TIME. This is extremely tedious. How hard could it be to add a preference setting to "smash multiple selections into individual pairs"??? What good is a font smasher without automation?
