Suitcase Fusion 3 from Extensis Designed for Both Print & Web Font Needs

Press Release
Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., has 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.
Pricing and Availability
Suitcase Fusion 3 is available immediately $99.95 for full product; $49.98 for upgrades from previous versions. Product is available via resellers and retailers and directly from the Extensis website.
Extensis Fusion 3 is available in English, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
