Which was my whole point of looking for something else, now that i do freelance design. I used Suitcase Fusion at the design studio i was at.and it seemed to work fine - although i rarely if ever used all its features.
I don't know if you've already found a font manager you like, but i thought i'd share what i've discovered recently.Īs mentioned by eyoungren, there is Extensis Suitcase Fusion, FontExplorer X Pro, and a third i've found, 'Insider Software Font Agent 9', which seems to be considered an equal. I only just discovered (20 July 2019) this thread because i was searching for a new font manager also. It's definitely worth looking at if you need more than Apple's FontBook but find Extensis Suitcase too much. And it does have some nice features (like font syncing via iCloud, Dropbox, GoogleDocs, etc.). But, RightFont 5 is only $40, where most other professional font managers are $100 or more. It's also lacking a lot of nice features that Suitcase had. This is more of an annoyance than a problem. For starters, you have to keep it running in the Dock all the time. RightFont 5 looks great, allows you to create collections, auto-activates in Adobe CC apps as well as Affinity & Quark apps, and most importantly it runs much the same as Suitcase, except it doesn't appear (after a few months of use) to slow down Adobe apps (particularly InDesign, which Suitcase was absolutely killing as of late). It's a "middle of the road" app, sandwiched between Apple's FontBook and Suitcase Fusion. One app stuck with me, and I've been using it ever since. Most all of them suck as a serious font manager in comparison to Suitcase Fusion (that includes Font Agent and FontExplorer). I did some testing of virtually every app I could find. The only difference was that I had no Suitcase Fusion installed at the office. I realized that my 5-year-old iMac with Adobe CC 2019 apps launched and operated faster on that machine than my new laptop with faster components. Until about two months ago, I happily used Suitcase Fusion.
To do this, select Go - Go to Finder… menu in Finder, and then paste the the following file path and hit Go button.Īfter the selected cache files was deleted, restart RightFont app.I feel I'm eating crow on this because I have absolutely sworn to Extensis Suitcase since the Mac OS days when Suitcase shipped to you on a floppy disk. You may need to delete the app cache data. If you still cannot see the missing fonts dialog, the app you are using is probably not supported yet. Go to Preferences - Auto Activation to check if this function was turned off. SkyFonts collection requires SkyFonts app and Monotype Library collection requires Monotype App.
No cloud fonts shownĪdobe Typekit collection requires you to install and run Creative Cloud app on your computer. In addition, RightFont does not support WOFF at this moment, make sure you are not adding. Those fonts that had been imported already will not be reimported once again. However, if activated fonts not listed everywhere, please don't hesitate to email us with these font files attached. If you still cannot find fonts within the fonts list in specific app, please try to restart your target app.
Make sure you have activated the fonts you want to use, you'll see a green check icon besides them. This is a place to share common problems and solutions to them.
