10. Click the small plus sign next to the suitcase to open it (circled below). The plus sign will turn into a minus sign and will expand the contents of the suitcase. Then click on the font inside the suitcase and the legend panel summary reveals that TransType can detect the source encoding. You always want to make sure the encoding is accounted for.
