What Insider Font Control Suite is
Insider Font Control Suite combines FontAgent Server, FontAgent, and FontAgent DC3 to distribute fonts across an organization and support license compliance. FontAgent Server organizes, optimizes, distributes, and tracks fonts, while keeping records of purchases, receipts, agreements, and seat counts. It can alert administrators when license terms are exceeded and report which users have fonts and when they activate them. FontAgent DC3 runs on business users’ Macs and PCs and synchronizes with the server, which can be deployed on premises or in the cloud on Mac, Windows, or Linux. Administrators can limit local importing and exporting, manage distribution permissions, and control system-font visibility. The suite supports OpenType, TrueType, dfont, and PostScript Type 1 fonts. Server sign-on can use Azure or Okta, and FontAgent for Mac supports Adobe Creative Cloud. The vendor lists a 30-day trial and pricing from $59 per user per year. Support includes telephone and email, with implementation, training, and ongoing administration also available.
