[QUOTE="juul, post: 1128829, member: 176132"] We're a small company with 3 people. At this moment we still use Adobe CS3 and but in about 2 weeks we're buying new macs and Adobe CS5. Now we are still using Extensis Suitcase Fusion (1). Personally i find this software very slow and unstable, and auto-activation slowed down opening files so much that we disabled it. At home, i'm using Linotype Fontexplorer trial and it feels much faster, stable and auto-activation works great. We would love a fontserver, but for our company it's too expensive (1000+ dollar). Fast, stable and good auto-activation is what we're looking for. I'm in doubt between the next 3 fontmanagers to work together with CS5: - Linotype Fontexplorer X - Extensis Suitcase Fusion 3 - Bohemian Coding Fontcase I know Fontexplorer works fine. But since we're used to working with Suitcase, Fusion 3 is an option too, and i guess it has improved since version 1. And i'm interested in Fontcase too, because it has a font sharing feature, which is (if i'm correct) a cheap replacement for a real font server. I'm not sure if the other fontmanagers have a similar feature. I'm not sure however if fontcase is a professional font manager, because it's cheap :). I know there are trial versions, but we want to be up and running immediately and i can't test font sharing at home... All advice appreciated! [/QUOTE]
