Font Auto-Activation Focus on your work, not your system. Suitcase Fusion 2 comes with professional-grade auto-activation plug-ins for critical design and publishing apps, including InDesign, Illustrator and QuarkXPress. These plug-ins utilize Font Sense to precisely match and auto-activate the right font types when you open a document. To avoid other conflicts, these plug-ins will also auto-deactivate the fonts upon closing a document.
Breathtaking Previews See your type for what it is. Suitcase Fusion 2 offers unprecedented font and glyph preview options including a slick slider bar that lets you dynamically resize your font preview. See how typefaces stack up side-by-side even down to their individual glyphs. Tear off your previews and drop them into your document to see what they look like in action.
Font Sense Get your type right. Suitcase Fusion 2 is equipped with industry tested, patented Font Sense technology. Font Sense uses multiple criteria to uniquely fingerprint each version of a font, delivering precise font matching and auto-activation.

- Pros: Elegant font management + Floating preview panels + Reliable auto-activation.
- Cons: None.
- Quotes: "Font Management is a very well-worn genre, but Suitcase Fusion 2 has managed to introduce some useful new twists".
"Automatic font activation is provided for Illustrator and InDesign CS3 and CS4 as well as QuarkXPress 7 and 8. This is done using plug-ins that use the same Font Sense process that's in Extensis Universal Type Server tool, identifying the particular font that's required using a wide range of detailed information. If you have multiple copies of a font, Suitcase should pick the right one, whether they're different version releases, from different foundries, and so on. This is quite a claim, as anyone who's been bitten by font conflicts know, but we couldn't catch it out".
"The real icing on the cake, and what sets this version of Suitcase ahead of the pack, is the preview features it offers..............What grabbed our attentio...
