Suitcase Fusion, a professional font-management utility designed for individual users, has seen a giant upgrade with the release of version 2. The program has been entirely rewritten using code borrowed from Extensis Universal Type Server product. The result is increased speed and responsivenessùespecially for adding and auto-activating fonts - and several clever new features that encourage typographical experimentation.
You can preview any selection of fonts, whether active or not, in several different sample layouts, or by typing in a line of your own text. Then you can drag type samples off of the Suitcase window and float them over your page layouts to see how they would look. These previews can be used with any document or application, and if you change the characters, fonts, or sizes in the Suitcase window, the floating previews update as well. When you find one combination you like, you can activate that font directly from its floating preview. This is an entirely new way to interact with fonts.
