Activating Selected Fonts
You can activate fonts temporarily (until you log off from your system) or permanently (until you deactivate them).
To temporarily activate selected fonts:
• Click the Temporary button on the toolbar.
• Choose File > Activate.
• Press Command-O.
• Click in the Activation column, indicated by an open circle, to the left of a font or family in the Fonts pane.
(You can click in this column without first selecting fonts.)
• In the Libraries pane, in the Activation column to the left of a Set name.
• In the Preview pane or a floating preview, click the activation icon to the left of the font’s name.
To permanently activate selected fonts:
• Click the Permanent button on the toolbar.
• Hold down the OPTION key while you click in the Activation column to the left of a font, family, or set or
when you click the activation icon in a font preview.
Globally Auto-activating Fonts
Suitcase Fusion has the ability to automatically activate fonts when documents need them. This is in addition to
the plug-in based automatic font activation.
Global auto-activation activates a font based on the requested font’s Postscript name only, but is handy for
applications, such as text editors, when it isn’t as critical that you have the precise version of a font.
NOTE
For precise auto-activation, be sure to install the appropriate plug-in. When using an application’s plug-in, it is
not necessary to add the application to the Global Auto-Activation list.
To enable global auto-activation for an application:
1. Choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Preferences.
2. In the Global Auto-Activation Options area, enable the Auto-activate fonts for the following
applications option.
3. Click the [ + ] button, navigate to the application that you want to add, then click Open.
You can also drag the application icon from the Finder into the global auto activation list.
4. Click OK to accept the new preferences.
To disable global auto-activation for a specific application:
1. Choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Preferences.
2. In the Global Auto-Activation Options area, select the application name and click the [ — ] button.
3. Click OK to accept the new preferences.
