Suitcase Fusion 4 15.0.5

Extensis Suitcase Fusion is designed to be a powerful font management tool that provides precise and complete control over all of the fonts on your system, while improving your workflow.

Suitcase Fusion helps you locate and activate fonts only when you need them in order to save valuable system resources and time.

Suitcase Fusion provides auto-activation plug-ins that allow you to automatically activate fonts for documents created in popular design applications, as well as on a system wide level.

With Suitcase Fusion, you’ll never need to be concerned that a corrupt font might interrupt your workflow. Potential problems are diagnosed and repairs are automatically applied when a font is added.

Suitcase Fusion is the industrial-strength font management application for all creative professionals. Powered by the Font Management Core, you will always have the font you need when you need it.
