Will the Suitcase Fusion 2 auto-activate the fonts in all versions of Quark Documents? I have over 100 documents to upgrade templates and Job Jackets which must be delivered in Quark 8.Īny links or information on this would be greatly appreciated. In an opened Quark 8 document already styled on a client's Windows system in Quark 8 and with Suitcase X open with my licensed OT fonts (same family, font house) active, I am not able to view or edit the active fonts in the font drop-down bar of the measurements and character attributes windows.Ĭan someone confirm if my findings are correct that I will need to upgrade to Extensis Fusion 2 to enable font management in Quark 8? And does this also mean an upgrade to the Operating system from 10.4.11 to 10.5 or 10.6 for the upgraded Suitcase Fusion 2? I've read conflicting data in my searching which is what lead me to the Quark Forum for help.

I just successfully upgraded from Quark 6 to Quark 8 on one of my workstations a PowerPC G5 workstation running on Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Extensis Suitcase X1 font management.

A free trial of Suitcase Fusion 8 is available here if you want to give it a try before buying.I'm new to the forum and this is my first DIY install after many years of benefiting from outside consulting support. You can grab Suitcase Fusion 8 for $120, or $60 for an upgrade from version 7.

You would think Extensis would sit back and enjoy the fruits of their past labors, but every year they release an update that’s worthy of the upgrade price.

Today, there are really only two pro-level font managers left, and Suitcase Fusion is the undisputed king of the hill. The last word:īack in the day, there were several font managers for the Mac that competed heavily for the hearts, minds and hard drive space of creative users. If you’re new to font management, or considering a switch from another font manager, I encourage you to watch the recent Suitcase Fusion 8 webcast Extensis did. It’s hard to explain, but you’ll see what I mean if you try it. But if a font family only has one font (very typical with display fonts, and free fonts from the internet in particular), it still takes up an entire row instead of just showing the next font right next to it-allowing you to see more font tiles at a time without scrolling. If a font family has numerous fonts (bold, italics, black, condensed, etc.) they appear in a grid all the way across the window and down as many rows as needed. My only remaining complaint is that when you’re in Tile View, Fusion only displays a single font family in each row. I think it speaks to Extensis’ dedication to their users by listening to customers and implementing changes so quickly. Those weren’t necessarily bugs, but they were features that were either available in previous versions, or ones that were obviously necessary. Preview window “type ahead” feature now allows you to start typing the first few letters of a font name to jump to that font in the preview window.Reveal fonts added in place in the Finder by right-clicking or Ctrl-clicking on a font name.Activate an entire font family with single-click activation icons.Select an entire font family by clicking the family name.But by the time I finished this article I had to re-write this section because Extensis released an update that addressed all but one. When I started writing this review, I found several things I didn’t like. You can view a more extensive feature list here. Perfect for customizing your Keynote presentation! Speaking of included apps, you also get Suitcase for iOS-allowing you to use TrueType and TrueType-based OpenType fonts on your iPhone and iPad. I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro that I work on, so having my entire font library synced via the cloud makes life easy.įusion works not only with the fonts installed on your Mac, but Adobe’s TypeKit fonts and Google Fonts are also supported.Īuto–checking for font corruption virtually removes the need for FontDoctor, but Extensis includes the app anyway. Font Syncing is so handy when you work on two Macs.

Suitcase Fusion allows for two installations for a single user. The previously mentioned QuickMatch feature is still awesome, allowing you to find similar looking fonts with a simple click. In fact the entire application seems to work faster than ever before.

Along with the typical font preview styles such as quick type, waterfall and full alphabet, Fusion now offers a tile view (see image above) to quickly find the font you’re looking for.Įxtensis also added the ability to view temporary fonts in their own library, making them easy to find quickly.Īuto-activation plug-ins have been updated for the latest versions of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects, as well as Quark XPress.
