Keeping Fonts on Server, Mac.

[Silence04]

do i need to have a special font manager to store my user fonts on our server for others to share, or will Mac's Fontbook do the trick?

Highlight the fonts you want in font book. Click File>Export Fonts Then specify where to export.

I wouldn't use FontBook period which I used in a busy plant for months. In a production environment I wouldn't use the fonts over a server. Get Suitcase Fusion and end the misery. It works great and may play nice with your server if you chose to go that route, better than that crap of a font manager FontBook. :cool:

[Silence04]

hmm.. yeah, i thought fontbook seemed to be lacking is some areas...

i tried Linotype, but i didn't like that i couldn't rapidly browse thru fonts. i will give Suitcase fusion a shot.

Linotype is much better than fontbook. I disliked the laziness put into FontBook by Apple.

I had a brain lapse, we load all our fonts off the network and it works very well. We have a new workflow that requires that we do it this way. It was not long ago that we loaded our fonts locally.

We like Fusion over our servers as well , it shares well with others. Font Doctor that ships with Suitcase-X1 and Fusion is a god send....clean font cache...thank-you Lord.. Flightcheck, however, doesn't play well with it. too new. Fontbook is crap, and Apple admits it..
