Who Needs Professional Font Management

Teams with large collections of fonts and who need reliable access to them. IT administrators for design, agency, print and publishing environments

Extensis Font Management Solutions

Basic font managers—such as Apple’s FontBook—are adequate if you work with only your own small collection of fonts and don’t use professional creative applications.

Extensis solutions are designed for professional users—both in a server-based environment and single users—who require a more robust level of font management. Extensis solutions ensure consistent, accurate font use, streamline workflows and eliminate common issues such as font corruptions, font conflicts and silent font substitutions.
