Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

What’s New in this Release
NOTE
Beginning with Suitcase Fusion 3 v14.1, the settings for the Font Management Core (FMCore) have been moved
from a System Preferences pane to the Suitcase Fusion 3 Preferences dialog. To access the FMCore settings,
choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Preferences, then click Type Core.
Google Web Font Library
Suitcase Fusion 3 and the Extensis Font Panel in Photoshop now give you access to the expanding library of
Google Web Fonts. You can copy fonts from this library to your other libraries and work with them in all your
applications just as you do with any other fonts.
In the Extensis Font Panel, you can specifically select to work with Google Web Fonts, and activate and apply
fonts directly from the panel.
Other recent updates
Extensis Font Panel
This release of Suitcase Fusion 3 brings the Extensis Font Panel and use of WebINK web fonts to Adobe
Photoshop.
The Extensis Font Panel provides WebINK logon and logoff options and lists the WebINK fonts that are licensed
for use in design applications. Now you can use Photoshop to create comps using the same fonts you will use
on the associated website.
NOTE: WebINK fonts can only be used in design applications for material that will not be published or sold, such
as client previews and comps. For detail, please refer to the WebINK Terms of Service.
Updated Auto-activation Plug-ins
The plug-ins have been updated to work with the recently-release Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (including
Photoshop CS 5.1, Illustrator CS 5.1, and InDesign CS 5.5), and QuarkXPress 9.
What else is new in Suitcase Fusion 3
The original release of Suitcase Fusion 3 added the following new and enhanced features.
WebINK
The WebINK font rental service is the cost-effective way to implement typographic distinctiveness on your
websites. Browse the massive WebINK Library, test fonts on your existing sites or those in development, then
add new fonts to your site with simple changes to your CSS. WebINK handles the font licensing, hosting, and
provides the correct format to each visitor, freeing you to concentrate on web design.
See WebINK: Using Fonts on the Web for details on this exciting new capability.
Application Sets
Use Application Sets to extend auto-activation to any program. Create an Application Set for a specific program,
add fonts, and whenever you start that program, that set of fonts will be automatically activated.
QuickMatch
Show me more fonts like this. QuickMatch finds fonts in your local libraries or the WebINK Library that are
visually similar to another font, and shows you samples of the closest matches.
Auto-activation Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop has increasingly added significant new features for working with type. Now you can use
Suitcase Fusion 3 to automatically activate fonts for Photoshop CS4 and CS5.
Auto-activation Plug-ins for Adobe Creative Suite 5
Along with the new Photoshop plug-in, Suitcase Fusion 3 includes auto-activation plug-ins for Illustrator CS5
and InDesign CS5.
