FontAgent® Server provides insight into font usage and license compliance across your organization. To view font usage statistics, you must first launch the FontAgent Server Manager.
Automatic Font Usage Tracking
To help you understand your organization’s font usage and license compliance, FontAgent Server automatically tracks:
- Who has been assigned permission to use which fonts
- Which computers are being used by which users
As you assign and remove permissions to font resources, those events are recorded by the server.
Filtering Usage Statistics
Tabs labeled Font Usage appear in the Server Managers’ bottom pane. When you view font reports, the Server Manager displays font-usage information specific to the currently selected object.
To view font usage information in the Server Manager, follow these steps:
- Select Fonts, Sets, Users, Groups, Licenses or Machines in the Sidebar
- Select an object in the top pane
- Click the Font Usage entry in the menubar of the bottom pane
The Server Manager then displays a list of fonts that are assigned to the currently selected object.

Click the Font Usage tab to view a table of fonts that have been assigned to the selected user or computer. The contents of the columns in the table appear below.

Exporting Font Usage Data for More Analysis

Click the Download XLSX Worksheet button to export a usage report for all fonts on your server into a multi-sheet Excel file that you can then use to:
- Get a quick summary of aggregated font-usage data
- View a list of currently activated fonts

The report below is an Excel worksheet that lists the fonts in a set, and for each font it shows:
- The font’s name, family and foundry
- Number of licensed seats
