Insider Font Control Suite
What it is
Insider Font Control Suite combines FontAgent Server, FontAgent, and FontAgent DC3 for enterprise font distribution and license compliance. FontAgent Server organizes, optimizes, distributes, and tracks fonts across an organization. It records purchase histories, receipts, license agreements, and seat counts, then can alert administrators when terms are exceeded. Usage reports show which users have fonts and when they activate them. FontAgent DC3 synchronizes with the server and runs as a transparent service on business Macs and PCs, plus rendering, application, and remote-session servers. The server runs on Mac, Windows, or Linux and can be deployed in the cloud or on premises. Administrators can restrict local importing and exporting, control system-font visibility, and manage distribution permissions. Supported formats are OpenType, TrueType, dfont, and PostScript Type 1. Azure or Okta sign-on and enterprise directory integration are supported, while FontAgent for Mac supports Adobe Creative Cloud. Pricing starts at $59/user/yr with a 30-day trial.
