Fontagent vs suitcase4/10/2023 ![]() It also offers the users free fonts, workflow automation, Adobe and Quark plugins structure, compatibility with Yosemite and EI Captain, and various others. The best about FontAgent Pro is that in addition to providing the above-mentioned solution, it makes the users able to create the fonts a vibrant part of all of their activities, either on the web or the print projects system. That means its single version can be used for two basic purposes of font management and getting fonts for free. In addition to providing the system for managing and organizing the fonts, it provides various free fonts as well that are integrated into its font integrity system. It is an expert in organizing and managing fonts according to the individual requirements of all of its users. I do not need to have a whole heap of active fonts, I don't have to have autoactivation, I don't use a wide range of fonts on a daily basis but just choose two or three for each project, and I am wondering if it is even worth having a font manager.FontAgent Pro is particularly designed for the Mac OS X operating systems to manage web-based fonts and print projects. I don't have the option of purchasing any other font management software, and if I can't get Suitcase working, I will remove it. I cannot believe fonts can cause so much hassle. Is this what creating a set called Frutiger would do? Prior to installing the Suitcase update, I followed the advice given on the Extensis website about collecting all fonts as described here: the components of say, Frutiger, appear to be all over the place and I wondered if it was possible to combine them all into one place. So now I know where to start, I will be coming back to ask about the next problem, which is sort of hinted at in the screenshot - and that is of 'fractured' sets. From your reply, it sounds as though they will still be there. I know it sounds like the obvious thing to do, but what concerned me about deleting the set was (a) I wasn't even sure it WAS a set, since when I selected to 'show all sets', none appeared in the upper window and (b) I didn't know if deleting the set would also delete the fonts from the computer. bleed margins in ID) but at least I didn't have to force quit. I couldn't change any numerical values (e.g. So I plugged the old mouse back in, and this time, the app didn't freeze, but nothing happened. I swapped from the standard Apple mouse about a week ago to a two-button scroll mouse, and wondered if this was connected. today I noticed that if I used the numbers on the number pad of the keyboard, the application I was using froze and I would have to force quit. So how do you get rid of a set but not the fonts it contains in Suitcase? The attached PDF shows the problem. Even when I tried to go backwards and drag a font out from the lower left pane, it would just bounce right back there. Plenty of info in the PDF about creating a set, nothing on 'uncreating' one. ![]() I suppose it would be called 'unpack' a Suitcase set. What I was trying to find out today is how to. I also noticed that most/all the fonts in this set (and there are dozens) do not appear to be separately listed in the font list in Suitcase. The set is permamently activated (green dot) as are all the fonts within the set. There is a oddly- but distinctly-named 'set' (I think that is the right word) in the fonts list, which when expanded, contains all the fonts about which there are error messages upon launching Word. I can live with most of these in ID but I am getting a little frustrated with font problems in other applications.Īfter having to launch Word twice today and getting a dozen or so error messages about missing fonts each time, I spent a little time reading the Suitcase Help Manual (large number of pages in PDF format, without links between the index and the page required - useless!!) and could not find any further info on what I now think is a problem with a font set. Well, sometimes it does and sometimes doesn't. I have downloaded and installed the Suitcase plug-in recently released along with the update to ID CS2, both of which were supposed to resolve some issues with auto-activation of fonts in ID. I am having some ongoing problems with Suitcase XI. But I got a job as a graphic designer at a place where I am the only Mac user and the IT Dept hasn't got a clue about Macs. I am a newcomer to Macs after 15 years of using a PC. ![]() System specs: 1.8 GHz Power G5, 1GB DDR SDRAM, 149 GB HDD, Adobe CS2 and Suitcase XI
