Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., today announced the immediate
availability of Suitcase Fusion™ 3, the newest version of the
professional-grade font manager for Macintosh® and Windows® operating
systems.
Designers are inherently multi-disciplined and often need to articulate
their designs uniformly across multiple publishing media – both printed
and the Web.
Suitcase Fusion enables designers to browse, preview, select and manage
fonts wherever they may be required – from the desktop to the web.
Features of Suitcase Fusion 3 include:
-
Seamless integration with Adobe® InDesign® and Illustrator® CS5 via
font auto-activation plug-ins
-
Web font selection and management through the Extensis WebINK® font
rental service
-
Web Preview mode allows users to see effects of using desktop and
WebINK fonts on any web site.
-
Suggests ‘more fonts like this’ using QuickMatch technology to locate
similar fonts
-
Application Sets that immediately activate selected fonts when an
application launches
-
Font Snapshots for quickly creating PNG font previews
-
Updated and modernized user interface
-
Localization into French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish,
Brazilian Portuguese
-
Delivers a stable environment by managing system fonts, repairing
corrupt fonts and integrated font cache cleaning
WebINK Enabled
Suitcase Fusion 3 provides access to high quality web fonts through an
integrated connection to the cloud-based web font rental service, WebINK
(www.webink.com).
Through a new Web Preview feature, users can preview how selected fonts
will behave online before ever writing a single line of CSS. And all of
this is accomplished from a single stable location, Suitcase Fusion 3.
"Enabling WebINK in Suitcase Fusion 3 is a logical step toward complete
font control across print and web. The extension of desktop font
management to the web closes the loop on many of the cross-media
challenges – and creative sacrifices – that modern designers face,” said
Thomas Phinney, Senior Product Manager for Font Solutions.
To get users up and running with web fonts, users who register Suitcase
Fusion 3 by Dec 31, 2010 will receive one FREE year of WebINK web
font service. For details about the free WebINK promotion see www.extensis.com/FreeWebINK2010.

Suitcase Fusion 3 is available immediately at a SRP of $99.95US for full
product; $49.95 US for upgrades from previous versions. Product is
available through distribution with Ingram Micro (US) and Synnex
(Canada), through North American resellers and retailers (CDW, J&R), and
direct from the Extensis website (www.extensis.com).
Extensis Fusion 3 is available in English, French, German, Japanese,
Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
