    Universal type solution to everything hovers in view, sucking up money and beaming out features
    Thursday, June 12, 2008
    June 11th sees the launch of Extensis’s Universal Type Server, that you may remember was shown in January at Macworld Expo. It is designed to replace the Font Reserve and Suitcase server products, which does seem like a sensible approach for Extensis to take, certainly for their own development needs.

    New features include such marvels (if they work) as automatic font classification, family grouping, dynamic smart sets and shared sets. It isn’t cheap – a license for up to ten seats will be $1395 (classed as “lite”), before jumping up considerably, with a 15 seat studio expecting to shell out $4275. I guess that is why they chose to label it as professional and corporate.

    To be honest, it is unlikely I will be in a position to test this in any meaningful production environment, however, I’ll keep you updated on other people’s impressions.
