Features

Centralized Font Distribution Take the manual burden off IT administrators in font distribution. Centralized font management with UTS enables automatic identification of font duplicates — making it easy to manage, store, and deliver the correct fonts. Font distribution has never been more efficient.		Online Admin Control font distribution and user access through a convenient interface. Easily manage who can add, remove, export, and collect fonts for output.		User Client Options The Universal Type Client and Universal Core Client let you provide the right tools for the different types of font users in your organization (regardless of whether they’re running on MAC or Windows OS) while helping you ensure font usage compliance and brand consistency.
Font License Tracking Assign font access to workgroups based on license and usage counts available in UTS to prevent illegal overuse. The UTS tracking tool helps you keep unlicensed fonts out of your workflow.		Robust Font Usage Reporting Get the data you need to understand and track your team’s font use through handy graphical reports. Easily export data for top-level auditing needs.		Solutions For Specific Workflows Universal Type Server ensures fonts are accessible for automated publishing workflows that use Adobe InDesign Server with FontLink, and for PDF prepress and printing workflows that use Font Connector for Esko ArtPro+.
Flexible Deployment Universal Type Server can support physical or virtual file server instances. It can be installed on or off premises and deployed on AWS, Rackspace, Azure, and other cloud servers. There are options for on-premise, cloud-based, and private cloud font distribution.		Reliable Updates Prompt updates ensure compatibility with Adobe, Sketch, QuarkXPress, Apple, and Microsoft — preventing costly downtime.		Directory Services Manage users through LDAP integration using Active Directory.
Font Auto-Activation Simply open a file and the exact versions of the fonts used in it will turn on. Our plugins help you save time with automatic font activation in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and InCopy — as well as Sketch and QuarkXPress.		Exact Font Matching Minimize inconsistencies and font errors with Extensis’ proprietary Font Sense technology, which assigns unique identifiers to every font in your collection and guarantees correct usage across your projects.		Font Panels With the Extensis font panel, you can access your entire font collection without leaving your preferred design application.
