You can then paste the glyph - complete with its associated font information - into another application.

The best part of this new feature is that you can copy a character from the Glyphs panel and Suitcase Fusion will activate the font temporarily.

Selecting a block lets you filter the display to only that block. The Unicode block pop-up menu lists all the Unicode blocks in the font with at least one glyph. This panel includes a larger glyph preview, the Unicode name for the character, the hexadecimal code point, the glyph’s ID and the platform-specific keystroke to generate that character from a US keyboard.

You’ll get to see a grid of all the glyphs in the font, but then, when you click on a glyph, you’ll have a full details panel popping up at the right. If you choose to show the Info panel, however, there’s a lot more you can do. Glyphs view allows you to see all the glyphs in a font or the glyphs in a specific Unicode block - it’s a bit like Popchar. In Glyph view, you’ll get to see more details than before. The app now has only one panel that displays all the information you need to see. Gone has the split display between font lists and font previews. The new Tile display also lets you fit more fonts on the screen simultaneously, which is a boon with fonts that have lots of variations. So, when you launch the new Suitcase Fusion for the first time, you’ll be greeted with the new Compact Tile display, which is beautifully modern - a minimalist design that works very well to instantly see the design features of a font - with an incredibly clean and attractive look and feel. However, the new interface does help you find what you need quickly, while I must admit that I always found the tear-off palettes a bit weird - mostly due to the way they were implemented. Suitcase Fusion 8 surprised me with a completely redesigned user interface that no longer supports certain features that were supposed to make it easier for you to see fonts in the context of a graphic design project. Suitcase Fusion has proven its robustness and value for managing thousands of fonts, supporting your legal duties towards licensing and your design needs.

Apple’s own FontBook is a bit on the skinny side and other font managers all fail in some areas. To manage your fonts on a macOS system, there’s no better tool than Suitcase Fusion.
