New in Suitcase 10

The award winning font management capabilities of Suitcase have been expanded to include the features users asked for most. The new features of Suitcase 10 include:
-- Auto Activation -- Suitcase automatically activates fonts in many popular
business and graphics programs. Users can create application sets, so anytime
the program is opened the necessary fonts are activated as well. Suitcase also
includes a QuarkXPress extension that uses Apple's Font Sync technology to
automatically open the exact font used in a QuarkXPress document.

-- Activate on Demand -- In a prepress environment, where fonts are received
along with the document to be printed, the prepress operator can now
temporarily activate the fonts needed for the print job simply by dragging them
into Suitcase. Deactivating these fonts is a single keystroke.

-- FontBook(TM) Included -- Suitcase includes a free copy of FontBook,
developed by LemkeSoft. FontBook previews and prints font families in 24
different layouts, including reference cards, font sizes, ASCII tables and
more.

-- Suitcase Strip -- The Suitcase Strip, located in the Apple Control Strip,
can be used to activate and deactivate sets without opening Suitcase.

-- Collect for Output -- Suitcase copies all font files necessary to print a
document to a specified location, so sending a job to a commercial printer is
fast and easy.

-- Corrupt Font Tracking -- Suitcase tracks which font causes a system to
crash, and marks it so it can be found and deleted or replaced.

-- Contextual Menus -- All Suitcase commands are available in contextual menus
for fast and easy navigation.

-- Multiple Master Fonts -- Suitcase 10 adds support for Multiple Master fonts.


-- Improved Font Conflict Handling -- With one click of the mouse, resolve any
and all duplicate font conflicts that appear.


Suitcase 10 Server Improves Workgroup Font Sharing

Suitcase 10 Server enables workgroups to leverage the power of font management over a network, ensuring that all users in a workgroup are using the same fonts. Individual users on the network can view all the Server sets created by the administrator and choose to subscribe to Verb 1. subscribe to - receive or obtain regularly; "We take the Times every day"

"Letting individual Suitcase users subscribe to only the font sets they need has great benefit to advertising agencies and publishing houses that have many clients or titles, all with a different brand look and feel," says Wong. "Suitcase makes sure that everyone working for a particular magazine or client is using the right fonts for the project."

Suitcase 10 Server can run on either a Macintosh or Windows computer. Anyone on the network with a copy of Suitcase can connect to the server. Suitcase 10 Server includes 5 copies of Suitcase 10 for Macintosh.
