Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

To search with the Find controls:
1. Choose Edit > Find Fonts, or press Command-F. The Find controls display at the top of the Fonts pane.
2. Choose an option from the drop-down menu to specify whether you want to Find fonts that match ANY
of the following conditions or Find fonts that match ALL of the following conditions. For example, do
you want to find only fonts from Adobe that are OpenType PS—or do you want to find all fonts from
Adobe and all OpenType PS fonts?
3. Choose find criteria from the Criteria drop-down menu: Postscript Name, Menu Name, Family Name,
Activation, Duplicates, Font Sense ID, Type, Version, Classification, Foundry, Keyword or Style.
4. Depending on the criteria you select, different drop-down menus and fields let you specify exactly what
you’re searching for. If you choose Type as the criteria, for example, you can choose matches or does
not match, and then choose from a list of supported font types.
5. To add additional criteria, click the Add [ + ] button. To remove a criterion, click its Remove [ — ] button.
NOTE: If you add search criteria, remember to check whether you are searching for fonts that match any
or all of the search criteria.
6. As you specify find criteria, the Fonts pane updates to display only fonts in the selected library that match
the criteria. When you finish finding fonts, click the arrow in the upper-right corner to hide the Find tools.
Using Smart Sets to Find Fonts
If you tend to find the same collection of fonts again and again—all OpenType PS Script fonts from Linotype, for
example—you can save the find criteria as a smart set. When selected, a smart set automatically updates itself
to display all fonts within the library that match the find criteria.
To create a smart set:
• From Find criteria: If the Find controls are displaying and the find criteria is already set up, click the Save
icon. Double-click the new smart set that appears in the selected library to rename it.
• From scratch: Click the New Smart Set button below the Attributes pane. Use the Find controls above
the Fonts pane to specify the smart set criteria, and double-click the new smart set that displays in the
selected library to rename it.
To edit the criteria for a smart set, right-click the set and choose Edit Smart Set from the shortcut menu.
Using QuickMatch to Find Visually Similar Fonts
QuickMatch allows you to find fonts in your local libraries and, if you are connected to the WebINK service, in
the WebINK Library.
To use QuickMatch:
1. Select a font (either locally or in the WebINK Library) that you want to match.
2. Select any preview type except Web Preview.
NOTE: QuickMatch uses the characters in the preview text to match against; if there are characteristic
letters in the font you are matching, add those or enter those in the preview text.
3. Choose Edit > QuickMatch.
The Preview pane shows the fonts from all available libraries that most closely resemble the selected font.
At this point you can:
• Change the number of results displayed using the Results drop-down menu above the previews.
• Change the libraries that are search for matches from the Fonts drop-down menu above the previews.
• Select another font from the Fonts pane; the QuickMatch results will be updated automatically.
• Select a font in the Preview pane and add it to a set or a Type Drawer, or perform a QuickMatch using it
as the font to match against.
