Suitcase Fusion 2 13.2

Suitcase Fusion 2 13.2 is a powerful utility that continues the tradition of professional font management capabilities, by focusing heavily on the creative aspects of typography with a host of features that allow users to really appreciate their type. By using Suitcase Fusion 2's Glyph View Palette users can easily preview and navigate through potentially thousands of glyphs within a single type face, compare and ultimately select the most ideal font for the project. The innovative Floating Preview feature allows creative professionals to literally drag-and-drop type previews directly onto a layout for easy comparison and selection.

Suitcase Fusion 2 also allows users to view multiple fonts side-by-side and dynamically zoom the point size up-and-down on the fly. In addition, users are able to print font previews to further compare font choices. Also included in Suitcase Fusion 2 are all new auto-activation plug-ins that automatically turn fonts on and off within the professional creative applications users leverage every day. Auto-activation operates in the background and provides creative professionals with the ability to seamlessly work in their chosen applications while automatically activating the exact fonts by utilizing Extensis' proprietary Font Sense font matching capabilities feature. Font Sense creates a unique ID for each font - like font fingerprinting - to ensure font consistency as documents move from design through production.
