#Suitcase fusion 6 trial update#
I would expect an update for versions 10 after it ships. For QuarkXPress users, compatibility is for version 7 through 9. New in Suitcase Fusion 5 though are Creative Cloud versions as well as compatibility with Creative Suite 3 and later (InCopy support is CS4 and later). Suitcase Fusion 5 includes auto-activation plugins for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and InCopy. That said, there are some noteworthy new features. What’s new in version 5?Īs with many applications that have been around for a while, Suitcase Fusion 5 is an evolutionary upgrade, not a revolutionary one. This is a real timesaver especially early on in the creative process where a lot of experimenting is going to take place. Photoshop users can access fonts from Extensis’ web font service, WebInk to easily create comps for web sites. Activating a font is just a click or two away from Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign (CS4 and later). The Extensis panels introduced in Suitcase Fusion 4 are back in version 5 as well and just as handy as ever providing easy access to your complete font library plus Google web fonts.
#Suitcase fusion 6 trial license#
Just right-click on the font or the set and choose Collect Fonts for Output (you’ll want to check the license before sending the fonts anywhere). Open the Suitcase Fusion 5 menu from InDesign or Illustrator (this feature is available in Photoshop as well, but is located under the File > Automate menu) and choose Creative Document Set.Ĭollecting the font files from Suitcase Fusion 5 is also snap. You can set as many conditions as you’d like and choose to match any of them or all of them.ĭid you ever wish you could create a set from fonts those used in a particular document? Piece of cake. The screenshot below shows a smart set based on Garamond being in the name:
Smart sets continue to be an easy way to group fonts by searching for common attributes such as a word in the font name. Temporarily activated fonts will not be activated the next time you start your computer, saving you the trouble of deactivating them manually. Taking that one step further, you can activate the fonts permanently or temporarily. Suitcase Fusion makes this simple by allowing the creation of font sets and the ability to activate fonts with a simple mouse click. I have a license for Adobe’s Font Folio and scores of others, so with more than 6,000 fonts on my computer I rely heavily on Suitcase extensively to manage them. Recently I upgraded to version 5, and found that it offers some interesting new features, while remaining an indispensable part of my digital toolset.
I first started using Suitcase Fusion when version 3 was released about three years ago.
