What Is Font Management?
Font management is about keeping all your fonts in working order so you can use them with a minimum of effort and trouble. It includes• Keeping your fonts organized so you can quickly find any that you need to use. Organize them in whatever way makes the most sense to you—by name, client or job, foundry, classification, and so on.
• Keeping your system running smoothly. It’s important to know which fonts came with your operating system and major software packages, so you can choose which fonts to keep active, and which you can safely discard or deactivate. Each active font uses a little bit of your computer’s resources—so by only keeping the fonts you need active, you can make your computer and applications run faster and work more efficiently.
• Fixing problems caused by conflicts and corruption in fonts and their associated cache files. When you work with a lot of fonts, it’s only a matter of time before you have to cope with duplicate fonts, conflicting fonts, or damaged fonts. Knowing how to solve these problems quickly can mean the difference between meeting or missing a deadline.
Using Font Management Software Almost all font management solutions allow you to organize your fonts into sets, which can be activated or deactivated with a single click.
Many solutions also offer autoactivation, so when you open a particular application or document, the correct fonts are already activated.
Font management solutions also offer tools that can scan fonts for problems, and fix font conflicts and corruption.
These applications also offer features for previewing fonts onscreen or in print to help you find the right font for a job.
Suitcase Fusion by Extensis is a powerful font management solution for both Mac and Windows, which includes all the features mentioned above and more.
