New features in Type Server 2 Light

Client Usability

Simplified font server access and unprecedented previews.

  • Font Previews: spectacular font and glyph previews let you see how fonts stack up side-by-side. ‘Tear-off” the font preview and drag it into your document to see them in action.
  • Auto-activation: Faster plug-in based auto-activation for more applications for Mac and Windows – Illustrator® and InDesign® CS2, CS3 and CS4, and QuarkXPress® 7 and 8
  • Font Consistency: Start-up sets, which are permanently activated via the server, ensure consistency and prevent font conflicts as users share files.


Font License Compliance

Delivers complete control to ensure you are fully compliant with your font collection.

  • License Reporting: analyze font license compliance, forecast future licensing needs, and prevent unlicensed fonts from entering the workflow.
  • System Font Enforcement: the server maintains a ‘white list’ of fonts prevent users from installing unapproved fonts to the system font folders of the OS.
  • Start-up Sets: Automatically and permanently activate sets of fonts at start-up for your client users to ensure consistency across shared documents.


Simplified Management

End-to-end solution for managed deployment that dramatically reduces rollout time and ensures consistency for end-users.

  • Simplified Client Deployment: Pre-populate server connection settings for clients, so users can quickly connect.


Performance & Scalability

Open source technologies offer hi-availability, now with improved usability under heavy load.

  • Improved Client Synchronization: Client and database design optimizes server transitions, ensuring consistent user experience even under heavy load
  • Enhanced Backup and Restore: Transparent, cross-platform backup and restore, even between platforms and database engines
