", 0, 0);


Extensis today released , a new version of its popular font management tool. Suitcase X1 offers functions for managing, previewing and activating fonts in Mac OS X. Users can preview fonts before activation, add keywords and styles for each font, search for fonts, detect and repair corrupt fonts (using FontDoctor technology), find duplicate fonts, and auto-activate fonts within QuarkXPress 6 (as well as InDesign and Illustrator). The English version is available for $130 with upgrades starting at $50 and $60 for previous owners of Suitcase and FontReserve, respectively. French, German and Japanese versions are due by the end of the year.

    10 bucks is 10 bucks

    Why, oh why, do they feel the need to penalize those of us who were FR users? They buy out FR, fine. They tell me they will be putting up a free plugin for FR for autoactivation in Quark 6. Fine. Then they tell me I have to pay them 60 bucks for a new app crossgrade? Don't think so. All I have to say is, I hope Panther's solution works fairly well cuz I will be all over it. This new approach to customer service has left me cold. See ya later, Extensis, and look up the term "unscrupulous" while you're at it.

    what's new in x1?

    I don't really see anything new in this version. Am I missing something? I even went to their site and there's nothing there that explains the reason to upgrade from 10 to X1.

    Q6 plugin?

    Could you autoactivate in Quark 6 from version 10? I assumed that was a BIG feature of X1.(sarcasm)

    Wait for Panther..

    $60 upgrade? Shiitt. Font Book in Panther is a very serious alternative that could suffice for quite a few people. I suggest that some hold off upgrading or buying a full version of Suitcase until Panther is out shortly.

    Font book

    Don't be expecting major font handling in Panther. Font book won't be auto activating fonts or any of the other really fun things users need. It'll be better at organization, but that's about it.

    do you honestly believe..

    do you honestly believe that noone will expand on fontbook? it'll most likely be applescriptable so autoactivation wouldn't be that hard to imagine.

    i for one would like to see suitcase roll over and die. they have worn out their welcome -- they could've been the next ATM but instead put out unstable bloatware.
