Version 2.1.2
Thank you for purchasing Extensis Universal Type Server, the only true Client/Server font management solution.
This version of the Universal Type Client connects to Universal Type Server v2.1.
To prevent auto-activation conflicts, before installing the Universal Type Client, remove any other font auto-activation plug-ins from the Adobe Illustrator and InDesign plug-ins folders as well as from the QuarkXPress XTensions folder.
To install Universal Type Client, double click the installer icon and allow the installer to guide you.
Files are installed to the directory chosen during installation. The default install location is:
<system drive>/Applications
To use the Universal Type Client, you must connect to a Universal Type Server. To connect, you need the following information provided by your server administrator:
Launch the client and enter the information above to connect.
To upgrade your current Universal Type Client, double click the installer icon and allow the installer to guide you through the upgrade process.
When the installation process is complete, launch the newly installed Type Client. You may be required to login to the Type Server when the new client is first launched.
NOTE: The installer places new auto-activation plug-ins on your system. The plug-ins that come with this version of the Type Client are only compatible with this version.
Auto-activation plug-in support for the following applications:
The Universal Type Client contains a number of new features in the 2.0 release.
Floating previews – Any font preview in the preview pane can be torn-off from the Type Client. This preview now floats above all other windows in the operating system, and responds to any changes in preview type and type size.
Glyph View Window – This allows you to view and compare the glyphs from selected fonts.
Print sample pages – Print exactly what you see in the preview pane. This can be handy to create a sample for client review.
Improved Attributes information pane – When a font is selected, the Attributes Information pane displays who added the font, when it was added, and which workgroups contain the font. Full administrators are able to selectively delete fonts from any workgroup from the information pane.
Improved font corruption handling – The Type Client warns you when a potentially corrupt font is added, gives you the option to add potentially corrupt fonts to your local personal workgroup, as well as gives you the option to scan local fonts for corruption.
Startup sets – Your administrator can designate sets of fonts that automatically activate when you log in. Fonts in startup sets are permanently active and cannot be overridden.
Improved system font handling – You are now able to override fonts that reside in operating system fonts folders.
Improved Find settings – Find fonts by the date that fonts were added to Universal Type Server or by the username of the person who added the font.
Improved conflict handling – new permissions allow you to tell the Type Client how to handle font conflicts, and whether to warn you when conflicts happen.
Encoding-aware previews – When you select a font that does not contain the characters in your preview, whatever the preview mode, the Type Client displays the characters that exist in the font.
Workgroup column – a new column shows the workgroups that contain the selected font.
New Type Core log location – The Universal Type Client now stores the Univesal Type Core log files in a new location:
<system drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Logs/Extensis/UTCore Logs/
In prior versions of the Universal Type Client, the UTCore Logs directory was:
<system drive>/Library/Extensis/UTC/501/UTCore Logs/
