Extensis® Releases Suitcase Fusion™ 3 with Adobe® CS5 Integration and Launches Cloud-based Web Font Service WebINK®

NORTHAMPTON, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., today announced the immediate availability of Suitcase Fusion™ 3, the newest version of the professional-grade font manager for Macintosh® and Windows® operating systems and WebINK (www.webink.com), their new web font rental service.

“Typography has always been a part of high-quality print design. WebINK allows designers to be as discriminating about their typography on the web, as they have been in print”

Designers are inherently multi-disciplined and often need to articulate their designs uniformly across multiple publishing media – both printed and the Web.

Suitcase Fusion enables designers to browse, preview, select and manage fonts wherever they may be required – from the desktop to the web.

Features of Suitcase Fusion 3 include:

Seamless integration with Adobe InDesign and Illustrator CS5 via font auto-activation plug-ins, including NEW plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop CS5 & CS4 (32 and 64-bit)
Web font selection and management through the Extensis WebINK® font rental service
Web Preview mode allows users to see effects of using desktop and WebINK fonts on any web site
Suggests ‘more fonts like this’ using QuickMatch technology to locate similar fonts
Application Sets that immediately activate selected fonts when an application launches
Font Snapshots for quickly creating PNG font previews
Localization into French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese

Web design has been stuck for over a decade with just a few "standard" fonts. WebINK helps set a new standard for high quality web typography by giving designers access to high-quality web fonts, enabling them to use real typefaces on their site without worrying about supported font formats or font licensing issues. WebINK can be accessed online, or through the unique WebINK features integrated into Suitcase Fusion 3.

WebINK Key Features include:

Quality font selection: Extensis has partnered with expert type designers and foundries to create a large, excellent selection of high quality typography for use on the web.
Ease of use: WebINK is as simple as CSS. Select fonts, generate the CSS, and then integrate into a website like any other font.
Compliance: Most desktop fonts aren’t licensed for use on the web. Extensis handles the font licensing issues by providing web fonts at a reasonable price, keeping designers safe and legal.
Portability: With WebINK when a project is complete, it’s a snap for the Web designer to transfer the web font rental responsibility over to the client for ongoing maintenance.
Speed and reliability: By partnering with Amazon S3, WebINK is robust, reliable and fast. The global network delivers web fonts as they're needed, quickly and consistently to web browsers 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world.

“Typography has always been a part of high-quality print design. WebINK allows designers to be as discriminating about their typography on the web, as they have been in print,” said Celartem CEO, Osamu Ikeda.

WebINK Features Quality Web Fonts

With an eye for quality, Extensis has partnered with leading type foundries to provide around 2000 high quality web fonts through WebINK; new partners and typefaces are being added regularly. Users can browse, select and implement fonts from any of nine partner foundries.
