Suitcase makes activating, previewing and managing fonts faster and easier than ever before. Suitcase 10.1 for Mac OS X is available to all registered owners of Suitcase 10 (via electronic download) at no additional charge.

"Suitcase users now have the ability to activate fonts for Cocoa, Carbon and Classic applications simultaneously -- a first for a font manager in Mac OS X.'' In Mac OS X, there are four or more Fonts folders available to users; making font management more critical than ever before. With Suitcase 10.1, users can now view fonts in all Mac OS X font directories, and activate or de-activate fonts in Cocoa, Carbon and Classic applications. As users transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X applications, they can utilize Suitcase 10.1 across both operating environments. The Suitcase Bridge provides users an easy way to activate fonts for applications in Mac OS X Classic while operating in the Mac OS X Native environment, providing users with true font management capabilities.
