How FontAgent Server Works

Contents

    FontFlex Intelligent Technology

    FontAgent® Server uses Insider’s unique FontFlex™ technology to intelligently integrate the many elements of font management—fonts, sets, tags, users, groups, font licenses and enterprise directories. In FontAgent Server, those objects automatically interact with each other as you import fonts, add users and assign fonts to them.

    FontAgent uses FontFlex technology to intelligently integrate the many elements of font management into a powerful solution for centralizing, distributing and controlling font distribution across the enterprise

    Unified Font Management Services

    FontAgent Server integrates a variety of font-management services into its FontFlex foundation to serve the needs of organizations of any size. Those services include:

    • A centralized database of vetted fonts licensed by your organization, including their associated metadata
    • Directory services for managing users and groups, and assigning permissions to server functionality and fonts
    • A file manager that distributes fonts to users with appropriate permissions
    • A font integrity engine that tests the validity of fonts
    • A metadata manager that discovers, stores and searches descriptive information about your fonts
    • A multi-threaded, high performance, input/output manager that transmits fonts to user computers
    • A font license manager that helps you stay in compliance by tracking your font purchases, available seats and their license terms
    • A reporting service that delivers real-time insight into font availability and activation by user, group and computer
    • Tagging that allows you to associate additional searchable metadata with your fonts

    FontAgent Server integrates all font management services into a unified solution managed by a simple, browser-based app for administering the server and controlling the distribution of fonts.
