FontAgent 10 for Windows

Syncing Sets with Other Users

Contents

    FontAgent® Sync allows you to share and sync font sets with other users who belong to your FontAgent Sync workgroup. You specify your workgroup’s members using your account dashboard.

    This page applies to FontAgent Sync Edition and not to the Standard (standalone) and Connected Editions of FontAgent.

    Making Sets Available to Others

    To sync sets with other users in your workgroup, follow these steps:

    1. Select the set you wish to share.
    2. Click the Share Set command in the Sets or Share menu ribbon, or right-click the set and select Share.

    FontAgent then uploads the selected sets and the fonts they contain to your FontAgent Sync workgroup or to your internal FontAgent Server where other users can view and download the fonts.

    Using Sets Shared by Others

    Once sets are shared by other users, they are uploaded to the cloud and appear automatically in the Sets Sidebar of FontAgent sessions of all users in your workgroup. You can download, select, view and activate those sets and the fonts they contain.

    Please respect and conform to license requirements for your various fonts. To remain in compliance with the terms of your license, please make sure you have licensed enough seats for the fonts you share with others.

    Unsharing Sets on FontAgent Sync

    When you unshare sets in your FontAgent Sync workgroup, the sets become unavailable to everyone in your workgroup, but the fonts in the sets remain available. To make the fonts unavailable as well, you must unshare the set by following these steps:

    1. Select the set you wish to stop sharing.
    2. Click the Unshare Set command in the Sets or Share menu ribbon,  or right-click the set and select Unshare.

    To once again make unshared sets available to your workgroup, just select the sets and click the Share button in the upper-right toolbar. FontAgent Sync will upload the set to the cloud and re-associate the fonts with the set.

    Only parent sets can be shared. Individual subsets cannot be shared with other users. When you share a set that contains nested sets, or subsets, the subsets and the fonts contained will also be shared.
