Features
- Font Vault - Suitcase Fusion gives you the flexibility to add fonts using two different methods. The preferred method is to add fonts into a central font repository, called the Font Vault, that houses all of your fonts. The vault is a managed repository that helps you avoid unnecessary duplicates, keep fonts organized, and maintain a smooth workflow. If necessary, you can also choose to add fonts to Suitcase Fusion and leave them in place wherever they reside - on disk, CD or DVD.
- Type face activation - Font suitcases are automatically split up into font faces when added to the Font Vault. This allows you to activate a single font face instead of activating the entire suitcase. This provides improved font handling, provides faster font-activation and minimizes font conflicts.
- Font Sense font identification - Suitcase Fusion creates unique identifiers for each font as it is added to the database. This ensures a smooth workflow by identifying, locating, and activating the exact fonts used in a document. Powerful auto-activation plug-ins use Font Sense data to quickly identify and activate the right font.
- Professional auto-activation plug-ins - Suitcase Fusion allows you to automatically activate fonts in professional publication programs such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and QuarkXPress. Font Sense identification data managed by Suitcase Fusion is used to accurately identify and activate the right font at the right time. If a font conflict does occur, you can tell Suitcase Fusion to automatically pick the best match, or use Font Sense information and keywords to choose the correct version yourself.
- Intuitive, customizable user interface - Suitcase Fusion contains a fully customizable interface for managing, previewing, activating and deactivating fonts. The easy-to-understand interface helps you quickly identify and activate the fonts you need.
- Duplicate font management - Duplicate fonts can cause activation nightmares. The duplicates filter quickly scans your database and displays possible duplicate fonts by name, and allows you to remove or delete them accordingly.
- Collecting Fonts for Output - Export fonts into folders organized by set and family, integrating font management easily into your workflow.
- Sets - With Suitcase Fusion, you can quickly organize fonts into logical sets by task, job or project. These sets can be organized further by nesting and aliasing sets into other sets.
- Font classification - Fonts are automatically assigned a classification when added to Suitcase Fusion by comparing the font’s name against an internal table of classification mappings. This gives you an efficient mechanism to sort, find, and manage fonts.
- Robust foundry support - Suitcase Fusion maps foundry information against an internal database that clearly identifies the foundry of a font. Fonts can be grouped, sorted or searched on by their foundry name.
- Font corruption checking - Fonts can be automatically checked for corruption when they are added to Suitcase Fusion. When using the Font Vault, corrupt fonts are not allowed, keeping your font database as clean as possible.
- AppleScript support - Common tasks in Suitcase Fusion can be automated with AppleScript to increase productivity.
- Font logging - Suitcase Fusion tracks the addition of fonts and logs the addition and any errors. This feedback helps you more quickly identify problem fonts that may need repair.
- Font file support - Suitcase Fusion supports the complete array of font types. Legacy fonts and customized font suitcases are supported in Suitcase Fusion. These font types include: Mac PostScript, Mac PostScript Multiple Master, Mac PostScript CID, Mac PostScript OCF, Dfont, Mac TrueType, Win TrueType, OpenType (CFF), OpenType (PS)
- Suitcase Fusion also handles so-called harmonized PostScript fonts
- PostScript names - Font names or PostScript names can be displayed in Suitcase Fusion allowing fonts to be correctly identified more easily
- Font Information - Suitcase Fusion displays the most complete font criteria like version, classification, and font type helping you make the most accurate font choice
- Suitcase Fusion and OS X - Suitcase Fusion is a native OS X application and has many powerful features previously not available with older operating systems. Open Suitcase Fusion at login: In OS X, the Suitcase Fusion application must be running before fonts can be activated. Suitcase Fusion launches automatically when you log in. Keep Suitcase Fusion minimized in the OS X Dock to have continued access to all of your fonts.
- OS X Dock: You can toggle font sets opened and closed from the Dock Icon menu. Click and hold the dock icon to display the menu, then click to activate the desired set.
- Font activation button: The toolbar includes a single font activation button. Click the Activate button to activate fonts and sets. You can also toggle the activation state between activating the font permanently and only activating a font until restart. To do so, click to highlight the font or set, then hold down the Option key and click the Activate button.
- System Fonts: OS X stores system fonts in several locations, so not all system fonts are stored in the System Folder’s Fonts folder. Using the Font List Filter in the Fonts pane you can display the fonts in any of these locations.
