Description edit
On May 16, Apple refreshed the iBook product line and replaced it with the MacBook product line, tracking the name change that was also seen in the demise of the Powerbook product line. So now we have MacBooks and MacBook Pros, and we do not have iBooks or Powerbooks. I have to say Apple is executing extremely well with their product refresh, and they now have converted every Mac to the Intel processor except for the slow-selling desktop tower units, all in the first 5 months of 2006. If that is not good execution, I don’t know what is. Also of note, the 12” Powerbook is retired, and Apple figures you will get the high-end MacBook if all you want is a small, designer laptop.
If you've used the program Font Reserve 3 or Suitcase X1 then you're in luck. Extensis™ has brought them together to create Suitcase Fusion and the best part is that you can seamlessly upgrade to this program. I have been using Suitcase since one of the earliest versions, then switched to another program called Master Juggler and then back to Suitcase and have happily stayed with it since. Suitcase Fusion is the best of both Font Reserve and Suitcase X1.
Font management can be a disturbing story in OS X, more so than in OS 9 and earlier. Fonts can be found in various places on your hard drive such as the Library, User and System folders and it can be confusing what to do with them to manage the whole thing. And make one wrong move and fonts can cause havoc with the whole system. I'm sure you will agree that it's important to focus on the project you're working on and not worry whether or not the font being used in your document is available, is not corrupt and is not a duplicate.
