Suitcase for Windows provides industrial-strength font management for desktop and workgroup users running Windows Vista, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
It features intelligent auto-activation plug-ins (powered by Font Sense) for popular layout applications and a secure and structured font repository—Font Vault—that eliminates unnecessary duplicates and provides easy access to a user’s font library.
The software is the only font manager for Windows with Font Sense powered auto-activation plug-ins for key professional layout and illustration applications including Adobe InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2 and QuarkXPress 7.
Font Sense is a proprietary Extensis technology that allows Suitcase to match and automatically activate the exact versions of fonts used in a document, including placed EPS or PDF file fonts.
As a client for Suitcase Server X1, Suitcase for Windows ensures consistent, reliable font use among all members of the creative workgroup. Suitcase Server supports both the Windows and Macintosh Suitcase clients, making it an ideal font management solution for both Windows and cross-platform workgroups, says Extensis product marketing manager, Halstead York.
“Every font on a creative professional’s system is yet another piece of software that interacts directly with their design applications and the Windows operating system.
“Having too many fonts activated leads to system instability, speed and performance issues,” said. “Whether working alone or in a workgroup environment these individuals are increasingly using the Windows platform and realizing that professional-level font management has become a necessity.”
Founded in 1993, Extensis is a software solutions company that allows creative workgroups and professionals to streamline their workflow and secure their brand by efficiently and effectively managing their creative assets and fonts.
The company’s award-winning client/server and desktop products are used by hundreds of Fortune 5000 companies and include Suitcase, Suitcase Fusion, and Font Reserve for font management and Portfolio for creative assets management.
