a network font manager

supplies fonts

fontconsultant is a network font manager that automatically supplies fonts to the workstations on the network when they are needed.

controls fonts

fontconsultant ensures that each user has exactly the fonts that they need to carry out their tasks no matter which workstation they choose to use.

activates fonts

fontconsultant activates the fonts on individual workstations only when they are needed, giving you the ability to control who has access to which fonts, and when.

restricts fonts

you can control access on an individual basis, by category of user, or by publication, whichever suits your needs. You could for example, supply news editors with one set of fonts, features editors with another, and advertising copy editors with yet another.

To help you select, organise and manage your fonts you can list fonts by type (serif, sans, symbol, decorative, italic, regular), view and print font samples in a variety of point sizes and formats, examine font data (including M and x height), and perform cast-off calculations using the built in cast-off calculator.
