FontAgent Server Manager

Distribute Fonts to Users and Groups

Contents

    To distribute fonts to users, assign the users or groups to the fonts and FontAgent® Server does the rest. To do so, you must first launch the FontAgent Server Manager. You must also have been granted permissions to distribute fonts from the server.

    To manage fonts, click the Fonts tab in the Sidebar and a list of fonts appears in the top pane of the Server Manager window.

    Distributing Fonts to Users

    To distribute a font to one or more users, after clicking the Fonts tab in the Sidebar, follow these steps:

    1. Select the font to be distributed from the list in the top pane. You can use the Filter Fonts field at the top-right of the pane to help find the right font.
    2. Click the Users tab in the bottom pane.
    3. Click the Add Users button and the Add Users dialog appears.
    4. Check the users to whom you wish to distribute the font. You can use the Filter Users field to find the right users.
    5. If you wish the font assignment to expire on a given date, select the date in the Expiration field.
    6. Click the Save button.

    FontAgent Server distributes the font to the users the next time the users sync with the server. The font resides on the users’ systems until either:

    • You remove the assignment of the font manually, or
    • The specified expiration date is reached

    Distributing Fonts to Groups

    To distribute a font to one or more groups, after clicking the Fonts tab in the Sidebar, follow these steps:

    1. Select the font to be distributed from the list. You can use the Filter Fonts field at the top-right of the pane to help find the right font.
    2. Click the Groups tab in the bottom pane.
    3. Click the Add Groups button and the Add Groups dialog appears.
    4. Check the groups to whom you wish to distribute the font. You can use the Filter Groups field to find the right group.
    5. If you wish the font assignment to expire on a given date, select the date in the Expiration field.
    6. Click the Save button.

    FontAgent Server distributes the font to the groups the next time their member users sync with the server. The font resides on the users’ systems until either:

    • You remove the assignment of the font manually, or
    • The end of the day specified as the expiration date for the assignment is reached

    Tracking Font Usage

    Click the Font Usage tab in the bottom pane of the Server Manager to view a table of fonts that have been assigned to the currently selected user or group.
