And then there’s the integration of WebINK, Extensis’ web font subscription service. The company said its program was very easy to use, plus it has auto-activation plug-ins for InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and QuarkXPress. Then Extensis released Suitcase Fusion 3 ($99.95 new $49.95 upgrade). I tried a number of Windows font managers over the years but eventually decided none of them were worth the trouble. I’m primarily a Windows user, and while advanced font management has been available on the Mac for many years, Windows users were historically left out in the cold. Creation of nested font sets is a bit awkward. Seamless integration with WebINK along with one year of free service.Ĭons: Sharing of font vaults in collaborative environments could use some streamlining. Auto-activation for major graphics applications. Powerful search features including the ability to find similar looking fonts. Versatile font management for graphic designers, service bureaus, and agencies. For QuarkXPress, XTensions are available for versions 7, 8, and 9.Pros: Support for both Mac and Windows. Plug-ins for CS6 are in development and will be released as a free update for Suitcase Fusion 4 sometime after the launch of CS6. Editorial types also benefit from the new version as Fusion’s InCopy plug-in now supports CS4, CS5, and CS5.5. Plug-ins for Photoshop are supported for CS4, CS5, and CS5.5. Plug-ins for Adobe InDesign and Illustrator are now supported for CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS5.5. That makes it easier to find and use the right font. New Font panels in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop offer direct control of font browsing so designers can now preview, organize, and activate fonts from their font collection directly within these Adobe applications. Suitcase Fusion 4 also now offers a built-in color picker to choose the text and background color directly within the application’s Previews window. These Digests provide a powerful way to set up specific lists of fonts from extensive Suitcase libraries.Įverybody has favorites, and now designers can star fonts as Favorites so they can quickly find, preview, and use them in their projects. Suitcase Fusion 4 now allows designers to create and edit their own custom font lists, called Font Digests.
