If you want to take things more methodically, please see Overview on page 57. 1. Check the system requirements. You need to be running macOS 10.13 or later, or Windows 10. See System requirements on the previous page for details. 2. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Suitcase Fusion, archive your Font Vault. This will allow you to revert easily to the older version. See Archive your Font Vault on page 65. 3. Disable or uninstall any other font manager. If you are running Suitcase Fusion 6 (version 17.x) or later, you can just stop the Type Core and continue. (We recommend that you uninstall an older version but it is not required.) If you are running Universal Type Server or a different font manager, uninstall it or disable it before running Suitcase Fusion. See Other font managers on page 62 for instructions. 4. Download the Suitcase Fusion installer. Get it from Suitcase Fusion Support. 5. Install the application. On Mac, open the disk image and drag the Suitcase Fusion icon into your Applications folder. On Windows, run the installer and follow the instructions. 6. Start Suitcase Fusion. If you are not upgrading an older version, when you start Suitcase Fusion for the first time it will present the setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup. See First-time launch on page 66 for details on the setup wizard. If you have upgraded from an older version of Suitcase Fusion, then Suitcase Fusion will back up your database and update your plug-ins. See After you upgrade on page 68 for details on upgrading. Suitcase Fusion Support: https://www.extensis.com/support/suitcase-fusion-21/ - 6 - The Suitcase Fusion window The Suitcase Fusion window is divided into three sections: the toolbar at the top, the Collections pane on the left, and the Fonts pane on the right. A: Toolbar B: Collections pane C: Fonts pane A.

Activation Quickly activate or deactivate a font selection. See Activation and deactivation on page 12. Font groupings Use these buttons to create a new local library, a new set within any library (or within another set), or a new Smart Search that can quickly find fonts by given criteria in any or all of your libraries.
