Collecting Fonts from Suitcase Fusion You can use the Collect Fonts for Output command to collect selected fonts. To collect fonts for output from Suitcase Fusion: 1. Launch Suitcase Fusion. 2. Select sets, families, or fonts in the library. 3. Choose File > Collect Fonts for Output, or press Command-D . 4. In the Collect for Output dialog box, navigate to any drive, media, or location you wish and click Choose. A copy of all the fonts is placed in a folder named Collected Fonts in the specified location. NOTE When collecting for output, if a font was added to Suitcase Fusion in-place, the entire font file, and all faces included in that file are collected. So, even if you only have the italic face of a font selected, if the font file also contains other faces, they are also collected. For fonts that were added to the Font Vault, only the specific face selected is collected. Collecting Fonts from Design Applications Suitcase Fusion provides auto-activation plug-ins for popular graphic design applications (including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and QuarkXPress) that add a Collect Fonts for Output command directly to the application. The Collect Fonts for Output feature creates a copy of all the fonts applied to text on printing pages in the active document (or layout). When a document is finished and ready for delivery to a service bureau, you can collect fonts for output. To collect fonts: 1. Open the document or select the layout and make sure no fonts are missing. The plug-ins cannot collect missing fonts. 2. Choose Collect Fonts for Output: � In Adobe Photoshop, choose File >Automate > Extensis and click Collect Fonts for Output. � In Adobe InDesign or Illustrator, choose Type > Suitcase Fusion > Collect Fonts for Output. � In QuarkXPress, choose Utilities > Suitcase Fusion > Collect Fonts for Output. 3. Use the directory dialog box to navigate to a location for the new fonts folder. 4. Type a name for the folder in the field. 5. Click Save. Suitcase Fusion copies the fonts and places them in the new folder in the specified location. You can deliver the folder of fonts to the service bureau or production department along with your other files. NOTE When collecting for output, if a font was added to Suitcase Fusion in-place, the entire font file, and all faces included in that file are collected. So, even if you only have the italic face of a font selected, if the font file also contains other faces, they are also collected. For fonts that were added to the Font Vault, only the specific face selected is collected. - 32 -
Activating and Deactivating Fonts Suitcase Fusion lets you quickly find the fonts you need, and then activate and deactivate individual fonts, families, and sets. You can work with fonts as follows: • You can activate fonts permanently, so they’re active every time you turn on your computer. • You can activate fonts temporarily, so they’re available until you shut down your computer, yet not active the next time you turn it on. • Auto-activation plug-ins precisely activate fonts when you open documents in popular graphic design applications. • Application Sets allow you to specify fonts to activate whenever you launch a specific application. • Once fonts are active, they’re available for use in all applications. • When you’re finished using fonts, you can deactivate them at any time. • Suitcase Fusion shows fonts activated through your system, which are always active. This version of Suitcase Fusion 3 also includes the ability to auto-activate WebINK fonts used within design documents. See Working with the Extensis Font Panel on page 67 for details. Selecting a Library The Libraries pane in Suitcase Fusion lists all of your font library collection. Click on a library to select it and begin working with its fonts and sets. The libraries function as follows: • In most cases, you will have only one library, and it is automatically selected for you. • Any fonts activated through your system or another font manager are listed in the System Fonts library. NOTE: By default, the auto-activation plug-ins activate fonts across multiple libraries and they cannot create font sets from fonts in multiple libraries. Activating Fonts Suitcase Fusion allows you to activate and deactivate fonts as you need them. When a font is active, it’s available to all applications. Suitcase Fusion provides a wide range of options for selecting fonts in the open library and activating or deactivating those fonts. Depending on your needs and workflow, you can activate a typeface family while designing a new document, activate a set for a project, or activate a single font used in a document that you’re editing. Selecting Fonts to Activate or Deactivate You can select individual fonts, multiple fonts, families, and sets to activate or deactivate: • Click to select an item (a font, family, or set). • To select multiple items, Command-click each item. • To select a range of continuous items, click the first item, then Shift-click the last item. • To view families, choose View > Group Fonts by Family, or press Command-E. • To view individual fonts within a family, click the triangle next to the family name. NOTE: You can select a combination of items at the same time, such as a family and an individual font, but you cannot select items in the Libraries pane and the Fonts pane at the same time. - 33 -
