Enter <strong>Extensis</strong> and the WebINK® font rental service. WebINK delivers professional, high-quality fonts to your<br />

website at very low cost.<br />

WebINK allows you to browse and preview fonts, test them on your website, then generate the necessary CSS<br />

to include them in your live site. In most cases, you will need to change just one file on your site to give it a new,<br />

professional look.<br />

Unlike other methods of using web fonts, WebINK does not generate static images of your text, does not require<br />

JavaScript or Flash, does not require any end-user setup, and does not require special handling <strong>for</strong> specific<br />

browsers. All that you need to do is choose your fonts and add the CSS to your site.<br />

<strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> gives you direct access to WebINK, so you can search <strong>for</strong> fonts, preview your website, and<br />

generate the necessary CSS from the same font manager that you use <strong>for</strong> your desktop workflow.<br />

Using WebINK fonts on your website is a straight<strong>for</strong>ward process. There is some setup involved, and after that<br />

you only need to select fonts, export a CSS file, and integrate that CSS into your website.<br />

Here are the basic steps you need to follow in order to access the WebINK service, set up the service to work<br />

with a website, select custom fonts, and add the style sheet to your site.<br />

1. Install <strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong>.<br />

Besides managing your desktop fonts, <strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> provides the tools you need to find and try fonts<br />

<strong>for</strong> your website, and create the style sheet enhancements you’ll need to use those fonts.<br />

2. Create a WebINK account.<br />

<strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> gives you the option to do this the first time you run it. Tell us your name, email address<br />

and other contact in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

3. Log in to your account using <strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong>.<br />

4. Create a Type Drawer and add sites to it.<br />

A Type Drawer holds the fonts you want to use and the sites you want to use those fonts on.<br />

5. Find fonts <strong>for</strong> your site and add them to the Type Drawer.<br />

The WebINK Library holds hundreds of high-quality fonts from major type foundries. <strong>Suitcase</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong><br />

allows you to preview your website with WebINK fonts in any elements on your page.<br />
