![]() ![]() You can grab Suitcase Fusion 8 for $120, or $60 for an upgrade from version 7. ![]() You would think Extensis would sit back and enjoy the fruits of their past labors, but every year they release an update that’s worthy of the upgrade price. Today, there are really only two pro-level font managers left, and Suitcase Fusion is the undisputed king of the hill. The last word:īack in the day, there were several font managers for the Mac that competed heavily for the hearts, minds and hard drive space of creative users. If you’re new to font management, or considering a switch from another font manager, I encourage you to watch the recent Suitcase Fusion 8 webcast Extensis did. It’s hard to explain, but you’ll see what I mean if you try it. But if a font family only has one font (very typical with display fonts, and free fonts from the internet in particular), it still takes up an entire row instead of just showing the next font right next to it-allowing you to see more font tiles at a time without scrolling. If a font family has numerous fonts (bold, italics, black, condensed, etc.) they appear in a grid all the way across the window and down as many rows as needed. My only remaining complaint is that when you’re in Tile View, Fusion only displays a single font family in each row. I think it speaks to Extensis’ dedication to their users by listening to customers and implementing changes so quickly. Those weren’t necessarily bugs, but they were features that were either available in previous versions, or ones that were obviously necessary.
