In the end, I do find the cloud sync in Suitcase a compelling feature. There was a day, back before people thought much about licenses, and you’d just hang onto fonts you ran across. I could probably get away with using Fontbook with the size of my licensed font collection. I do like the way inDesign packages the fonts and reads them directly without having to load them in the system, which makes it convenient when someone sends you the working files for a project. Since the production workflow is all PDF now days you really don't need to send any fonts to a printer as they are embedded in the document.
I loaded up the entire Adobe font folio with Font Book and never needed to open the app again. Since the introduction of OS X there doesn't seem to be an issue with that anymore. Back then loaded fonts would consume a lot of system resources so you would load and unload them as necessary. I also used Suitcase in the 90s with System 9. Suitecase now offers a cloud sync so you can keep 2 (or more, if you are willing to pay for more licenses) Macs in sync font-wise.Īnyone else interested in pro level font managers? But I see other software when working on-site with different clients. I’ve been a Suitcase guy, mostly because it was the first utility I used professionally in the mid 90s. Tip: To find warnings or errors in a long list of fonts, click the pop-up menu at the top of the Font Validation window, then choose Warnings or Errors.While this is certainly useful information, I’d really love to see AppleInsider cover pro-level font management software like Suitcase Fusion or Font Agent Pro.

If the font type is supported, try validating the font to find errors: If you haven't already, make sure that the font type you're trying to add is supported: Install or remove fonts on your Mac - Apple Support
