PORTLAND, Ore.– Extensis, a division of Celartem, Inc., announced Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7, a free update to its single-user font management application.
Although previously compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, this update will ensure that important system settings are automatically adjusted rather than requiring the user to complete the changes manually. Additionally, the update ensures that Leopard’s new system fonts can be managed via Suitcase Fusion’s Manage System Fonts feature.
Since the launch of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Suitcase Fusion and Font Reserve Server have maintained Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility. A compatibility update for Suitcase Server X1 will be forthcoming, as will updates for the Portfolio 8.5 product line.
In addition to this update for Leopard optimization, all Extensis font management products also include auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator® and InDesign® CS3. These plug-ins are crucial for anyone using Creative Suite 3 on Leopard, as Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications were not designed for Leopard.
“Extensis knows how important it is for our users to be able to work seamlessly within the operating system of their choice,” said Cindy Valladares, Product Marketing Manager at Extensis.
“Our goal is to ensure that our font management products are both optimized for the new Mac OS and offer the auto-activation plug-ins users need for the latest creative applications, which is what a professional font management system should do.”
This update continues to enhance the benefits for professional users who require a level of precision and control that a basic font manager can't provide.
The update is free to registered users and is immediately available in English, French and German.
This is a recommended update for users on all versions of Mac OS X.
In addition to this update for Suitcase Fusion, a newly updated version of the Extensis “Font Management in OS X Best Practices Guide” is now available on the Extensis site, and includes best practices for managing fonts in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
