I have a license for Adobe’s Font Folio and scores of others, so with more than 6,000 fonts on my computer I rely heavily on Suitcase extensively to manage them. Recently I upgraded to version 5, and found that it offers some interesting new features, while remaining an indispensable part of my digital toolset. I first started using Suitcase Fusion when version 3 was released about three years ago.
