Universal Type Server from Extensis, is a next generation server-based font management solution for Macintosh and Windows environments. The font server application lineup is designed to handle all font-related issues in font-intensive workflows and offers simple server and user administration via web-based applications; a “stable and fast” Java-based server with a secure SQL backend; active Directory integration for enterprise networks, support for both Mac and Windows clients support for mobile users; font license tracking; fast type activation; automatic font previews and organization, and native support for Intel-based and PPC-based Macs. Universal Type Server will be available in three editions: Universal Type Server Lite, Professional and Corporate editions.

To be launched in spring 2008 according to the site. Hmm, for me it’s already summer. But I guess this is the solution for creative teams, and I just can’t wait to try it out.
