white paper
• Server Instability: If a font is activated on the server and the server crashes, the client
machines may “lock up” as the Mac OS, the print driver or other applications on the client
machines attempt to access the necessary font data.
To reduce server traffic and to speed access and activation, the Client maintains a cache of
recently activated fonts on the client workstation. Since fonts reside on the workstation while
in use, if the server goes down, users can continue working, uninterrupted, with their currently
active fonts.
Offline Mode
Naturally, a significant concern of using a server-based solution is how the software handles a
system or network problem. “What happens if my network goes down?” or “What about my
PowerBook users who go on the road?” are frequent questions asked about the product. Font
Reserve Server handles these situations elegantly by automatically putting the users into an
Offline Mode. While in Offline Mode, all the fonts that were active prior to being disconnected
from the server remain active—even across system restarts—and the user is given full access to
their local cache (typically the last 500 or so fonts the user has activated) from which to activate
and deactivate fonts. Once the server is back online, the user can easily reconnect.
Workflow Automation
The “holy grail” in electronic publishing has always been complete workflow automation. For
example, using AppleScript with QuarkXPress and FileMaker Pro, users are building entire real
estate and office products catalogs.
Unfortunately, the goal of moving a job through a series of processes, untouched by human
operators, continues to be elusive—often because font problems require intelligent attention. The
Font Reserve Server, coupled with Font Sense technology, solves this problem by ensuring that
the correct fonts are available to specific jobs when they need them.
