FontAgent Server Manager

Recall Fonts from Users and Groups

Contents

    To recall (un-distribute) fonts from users, you just remove users or groups from the fonts. You can also specify that font assignments should expire automatically. In either case, you must first launch the FontAgent® Server Manager.

    Recall Fonts from Users

    To remove fonts from a user, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Fonts tab in the Sidebar and a list of fonts appear in the top pane.
    2. Select the font to be removed. You can use the Filter Fonts field at the top-right to help find the font.
    3. Click the Users tab in the bottom pane menu bar.
    4. Locate the user you wish to remove. You can use the Filter Users field at the top of the pane to find the user.
    5. Click the Remove button to the right of the user’s name and the server removes the user’s rights to the server set.

    FontAgent Server removes the server set and its associated fonts the next time the user syncs with the server. Note that the server does not remove a font if the user is assigned the font elsewhere, either directly or as a part of another set.

    Recall Fonts from Groups

    To remove fonts from a group of users, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Fonts tab in the Sidebar and a list of fonts appear in the top pane.
    2. Select the font to be removed. You can use the Filter Fonts field at the top-right of the pane to help find the font.
    3. Click the Groups tab in the bottom pane menu bar.
    4. Locate the group you wish to remove. You can use the Filter Groups field at the top of the pane to find the group.
    5. Click the Remove button to the right of the group’s name and the server removes rights to the server set from all the users in the group.

    FontAgent Server removes the server set and its associated fonts the next time the users in the group sync with the server. Note that the server does not remove a font if a user is assigned the font elsewhere, either directly or as a part of another set.

    Expiring Font Assignments Automatically

    You can also remove fonts from users’ systems automatically by assigning them an expiration date. In this case, the server removes the expired fonts from user systems the first time the users connect to the server after the expiration date.

    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.
