FontAgent Pro Server

Version 2.5 is a good step up. Being able to control font licenses is a great feature ... although there is a problem with selecting one font at a time to assign licenses. They also fixed a lot of bugs from v1.1. No more phantom user log outs (that was a dangerous bug). But they still have not gotten the synchronize scheduler to work correctly. Another huge innovation is Directory Access. Being able to integrate with OSX server access groups is very powerful.

Am using version 1.1 right now It is the right tool for the job of managing large amounts of fonts in a multi-user environment. Stable. Several interface tweaks would make it perfect. I love, love, love being able to create new sets that everyone accesses. FApro server seems to have a little bit of trouble with editing existing fonts. Like discovering a bad font and removing it or replacing it with a good one of the same name. In short, the synchronize (auto and manual) seems to only be good for adding fonts that had not existed in the library before. The library on the client's computer seems to need purging before recognizing that an existing font has been changed or deleted. But I think all of this may be related to OS X's problems with font caches. Also I would like a way of puching new libraries to users, instead of relying on them to activate them. But on the whole, it is a must have for any graphic design shop.
