Activate your Fonts in Any Application

Want your fonts to activate when you’re using applications such as QuarkXpress, CorelDRAW, Sketch, Affinity Designer, Microsoft Word or virtually any software program where you need access to your font collection?

By creating Application Sets in Suitcase Fusion, you can temporarily activate a set of fonts when the program you’ve specified is opened. This will ensure that fonts you are using in documents you’ve created with those programs will work the way you need and expect them to.

You can create Application Sets in both the Mac and Windows versions of Suitcase Fusion.

How to Create an Application Set:

1. Have the software program already installed and available in your Applications or Programs Folder
2. Launch Suitcase Fusion
3. Select the library for which you want to create an Application Set
4. Go to File > Create Application Set
5. Go to File > Sychronize Fonts
6. Choose the software program and select Create
7. Start dragging fonts into the Application Set
8. Launch the software program
9. You'll see the fonts from your Application Set under the programs, font or type menu.

Now, your selected fonts will activate as soon as you launch the software application and allow you to select those fonts while the application is in use.

NOTE: You should not use Application Sets for applications that have an auto-activation plug-in. The plug-in uses Extensis Font Sense technology to ensure that the precise font used in a document will be activated, whereas the Application Set cannot override a font with the same name that is already active.
