![]() ![]() Suitcase Fusion simply launches and adds the fonts ondemand. Thisworks even if you drag fonts onto the dock icon when Suitcase Fusion isnot running. Inaddition, if you drag a folder of fonts onto the Suitcase Fusion dockicon, a set is automatically created, the fonts enclosed are addedtemporarily, and automatically activated. Command-click and drag the font from the Finder into the Fonts pane of Suitcase Fusion. To add and activate an On Demand temporary font: ![]() This powerful feature is typically used by ServiceBureaus and Print vendors who need to have Suitcase Fusion forgetfonts when a job hasbeen completed. Just like other temporary fonts, "On Demand"fonts are removed when you log off or restart your computer. Fonts activated on demandare also displayed in the font lists with blue temporary activationicon surrounded by a box. When you add a font On Demand it is activated immediately and overrides any other fonts of the same name.It is treated otherwise as a temporary font. For example, just while that job is being output. Deactivated temporary fonts only show the box around the empty activation icon"Īdding Fonts "On Demand" If you are working in aproduction environment, such as a service bureau or commercial printshop for example, you may need to activate fonts supplied by customerstemporarily. I know you can't see temp fonts just by telling SF2 to see only those (as was the case in X1 and SF), but according to the help you can differentiate a temporary font visually: "Temporary fonts are listed as a blue dot with box around it in the status column of the Fonts, Sets and Preview panes. What exactly to you mean by "in isolation" Do you mean viewing just that font only? If so, you can view any font just by searching for it. When you have three or four versions of Helvetica Bold (Neue and regular) but that dang app doesn't identify by suitcase I have to resort to forcing it to list the location of the font family I want open. I have everything organized in specific folders, but unless I specifically specify it Fusion and Fusion 2 don't imediately clue me in to which font in which location is being activated. I also don't like that since Fusion Extensis seems to be doing away with font familys/suitcases. I know they bought out Font Reserve and got the Vault thing, but couldn't they just tack that on as a feature versus trying to make the dang thing all knowing about fonts and thus loading the wrong font every time? Annoying! Somewhere between X11 and Fusion stuff started going south. Reload it and Fusion 2 has replaced fonts! It's annoying, but I'm going to try sticking it on keep the activated fonts open pref and see what happens. I can set up fonts I want open PERMANENTLY and save and close a document. That seems to be bringing me closer to Fusions functionality. So I have Font Sense disabled and I have the option to activate the entire family set. I don't need ID level font activation (because Font Sense usually screws everything up). Extensis has stripped out quite a few buttons but the functionality still seems to be there in the File Menu. You just have to go to the File menu now. You can still add fonts temporarily in Fusion 2. ![]()
