Bondi Server Release Highlights
The Bondi Release of FontAgent® Server brings more organization, configurability, control and consistency to the world’s first and fastest font server.
Font Organization and Metadata
New tagging and nested set managers let you:
- Use server- and client-based tags to describe and associate your fonts — by client, project, vendor, department, publication, etc. — and distribute those tags to users
- Define subsets to organize your fonts into subcategories — such as project subsets within a client set — to deliver more clarity, consistency and productivity to all your users
Client Configuration and Control
Tighter controls on connected clients let you:
- Restrict users from importing fonts locally
- Stop users from exporting fonts
- Prohibit changes to system font folders
- Show or hide system fonts
- Enable Kerberos login
- Specify how often clients sync with the server
- Manage group permissions and assignments
Administration, Stability and Performance
Foundational and administrative improvements include:
- Enhanced FontFlex™ architecture that now includes subset and tag objects
