Extensis' single-user professional font management product also provides enhanced plugins for Adobe Creative Suite applications.
Suitcase Fusion combines the capabilities of the Suitcase and Font Reserve single-user font management utilities. Noteworthy is the provision of a central font repository, typeface-level activation and font identification technology. The Font Vault, for example, is a managed repository that integrates with the Suitcase Fusion database and is said to be particularly useful for managing multiple versions of fonts with the same PostScript name. It employs the Extensis Font Sense technology to provide true font identification and consistent duplicate font management. Font Sense is available via Suitcase Fusion plugins and provides true font identification within QuarkXPress, InDesign and Illustrator documents. Also included is Morrison Software's Font Doctor, to detect and repair corrupt fonts.
The Windows version of Suitcase Fusion was released last August, with the update adding Windows 7 compatibility, improved auto-activation plugins for Adobe Illustrator CS2-CS4 and Adobe InDesign CS3-CS4, as well as enhanced font corruption checking. Suitcase Fusion 2 for Windows can be purchased for $99.95 on the Extensis site. A trial version is also available for download.
