Extensis Website<\/a>)<\/p>\nSuitcase Fusion 2 requires that you uninstall Suitcase 11 before installing. It also does not automatically retrieve the Suitcase 11 database.. You can load the Suitcase 11 database by going to Tools > Import Suitcase for Windows Data<\/p>\n
Note: Fusion 2’s default settings move all added fonts to a "font vault" within Local, Application Data of your C:\/ drive. If you are like me with a lot of fonts, duplicating all of those somewhere else on your system is a bit crazy – I have all of mine stored in F:\/fonts\/ the items in the F drive do not change very often so it doesn’t have to backed up as frequently – rather convenient for my work flow. To change this setting go to: Edit > Preferences and under Font Vault Options change to "Add fonts leaving them in place." I also changed the Activations Options adding a check into "Notify if a conflict occurs."<\/p>\n
That said – it seems that if you ‘Import Suitcase for Windows Data’ it goes to the vault vice leaving them so I ended up creating new sets. Something new and coinvent with Fusion 2 is you can "export sets" which are mini database files… to save sets\/back them up.<\/p>\n
You can also have multiple libraries… I now have a library for my standard fonts and another for various free fonts…<\/p>\n
Other cool features include the ability to create popup boxes of fonts you are considering and being able to move fonts to sets from the preview window..<\/p>\n
All in all a great upgrade… that took too long in the making!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
