Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Suitcase X1 is the professional-level font management solution for Mac OS X. With unmatched font preview options, auto-activation, and more, Suitcase is the must-have application for serious font users.
Unmatched Font Preview Options
Having the ability to visually compare fonts is a critical component to the creative workflow. Suitcase X1 gives you the power to preview fonts several different ways without activating them, including the ability to enter custom text or preview multiple fonts at the same time.
Multiple Font Activation Options
With the flexibility to fit your workflow, Suitcase provides multiple font activation options, including the ability to activate fonts directly from the Preview Pane.
Auto-Activate Fonts
Save time by letting Suitcase X1 auto-activate your fonts for you. Suitcase provides global auto-activation for the most popular Mac OS X applications, as well as auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe applications and for QuarkXPress.
Find the Right Font Fast
Suitcase’s new QuickFind feature can instantly find the font you need based on its name, style, or keyword. Or use the customizable Find command to locate a font based on more specific criteria.
You can organize your fonts using Suitcase’s built-in style list or add your own custom keywords. Suitcase will automatically scan for font styles as new fonts are added to the database.
Corrupt Font Detection and Repair
Suitcase takes on corrupt font problems so you don’t have to. Suitcase automatically scans fonts to see if they are corrupt and will try to repair the font or warn you when you try to add it.
Resolves Duplicate Font Issues
Are you sure you’re using the right version of Helvetica? Suitcase X1 will detect and report on any duplicate fonts that you have in your database. In addition, Suitcase provides an easy-to-use method of cleaning up duplicate fonts and ensuring that you have the exact font that you want.
Activate Fonts on Demand
Fonts activated on demand are added and activated temporarily. If any font conflicts arise, Suitcase resolves them for you. You no longer need to activate and deactivate fonts for each new file. Suitcase does all the work for you.
Includes Lemke Soft’s FontBook Utility
Suitcase includes FontBook, the ultimate font utility for creating a complete overview of all your fonts. FontBook can print sample pages in 24 different predefined layout pages, including reference cards, font sizes, ASCII tables, and much more.
Includes FontDoctor Utility
Suitcase includes Morrison SoftDesign’s FontDoctor, the industry standard for font problem diagnosis, repair, and organization. FontDoctor is a professional solution that will locate and eliminate hard-to-find font problems that wreak havoc on the Macintosh system performance and applications.

Unstable,
This review is from: Extensis SUITCASE X1 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
This program is buggy. Stick with font book that comes with OSX. This release has problems with:
Not saving settings, not loading fonts correctly for use, constant conflict problems, Ive had multiple problems with the program crashing on startup requiring me to go in and manually clean out fonts. I never write reviews but the amount of headache this program has given me prompted me to spread the word. AVOID SUITCASE AT ALL COSTS!

Don't buy Suitcase,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Extensis SUITCASE X1 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I bought this because I'm a graphic designer and I have 1000+ fonts on my system at once. And that can really slow things down, and it can also really cause problems if just one of those fonts gets corrupted. So I thought I needed a big "powerful" solution like Suitcase. Turns out, the Font Book that is PART of OS X Panther, does everything I need. It lets you preview fonts, it lets you disable and enable them. Its a very powerful little app, and its FREE. Font Suitcase sucks. It doesn't seem to work at all. Its manual does very little to really explain how your supposed to really use the app. It doesn't explain things well at all. I'm a pretty smart guy, and I couldn't figure out how to get all my fonts into the program properly, and when I could get them to show up, I couldn't turn any of them on or off. Suitcase is a mess. It is a waste of money and a waste of time. Font Book, that comes with OS X 10.3 is the best app. So simple, so easy to use, so effective. So Apple.

Irrevocable harm to my system,
By
This review is from: Extensis SUITCASE X1 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
If could give it no stars I would. Clicking manage system fonts was essentially a death sentence for my machine. It screwed it up so bad I had to switch all my software to another mac in order to make my deadline. Absolutely, totally, one of the most abysmal pieces of software ever created.
Minor bugs are bad enough, but a total system collapse is totally inexcusable.
