As of Feb 5, the MacUpdate page heading lists 14.1.1 as the current version, and links to a download of 14.0.6.

But the actual current version is 14.2.0

What gives?

installed current version on 10.6.8 Mac Pro, noticed system slow down and often spinning wheel, removed and problem gone.

BUT now I can not use photoshop " FMCore has been stopped. Please start it from the System Preferences pane and then relaunch Adobe Photoshop CS5" And now the journey to fix this, errrr

A suitcase induce issue, wish I never touched the program

I am happy (ecstatic actually) that version 14.1.0 (218) finally adds the ability to hide the infernal Font Preview pane, AND there is no longer a preference pane. The core can be restarted from preferences within the app. These improvements restore Suitcase to full, reliable, fast, functionality. There are other updates/changes as well.

Yay!

I haven't had any of these crashing issues, but since updating to Lion, FM Core wouldn't always launch at startup. So then I would launch Illustrator, etc., and then it would throw up a notice that the plugin didn't load, etc.

And of course no CS 5.5 support.

This update seems to address both issues.

One thing I'd like to mention is from my experience in pre-press, I leave auto activation turned off, and I add fonts leaving them in place. This prevents font conflicts with customer files. I also remove any unnecessary files from the system library.

At home for design work, I leave auto activation on, and leave add fonts in place on. I don't use the font vault since my fonts are on a second hard drive.

Even with some minor issues, this is still the best font manager for the Mac. It has no issues with creating font sets with the files located on a file server for instance. You can't do that with FontExplorer X.

It's not often I slam a utility I have been using for ~20 years, but Suitcase has become so bad, so sluggish, so poorly maintained, and so unresponsive to users' needs that I just can't resist warning people how ugly it is to use now. The in-your-face font preview that can't be hidden, turned off or disabled, the 32bit must-launch-twice preference pane, still no support for Windows PostScript fonts, the pointless and entirely uninformative "problem fonts" sets, the inability to deactivate all non-system fonts, and not being able to read some fonts even though the system can use them just fine, are just some of the annoying and on-going issues with Suitcase that aren't being addressed, and are actually getting worse in some cases. I really wish the developer would wake up and start LISTENING to the customers, but it's just not going to happen. One day, hopefully sooner than later, a competitor will come along that will turn this utility into the (increasingly irrelevant) QuarkXPress of font management apps.

Hi!

I installed SFC3. I started the app with demo, but don't work.
I get this message:

Unable to start the Suitcase Fusion Core.
Suitcase Fusion has detected an incompatible version of FMCore.
Suitcase Fusion can not continue.

How can I uninstall, or delete older version of SFC?
