If you use more than one computer, you can use FontAgent® Sync to synchronize fonts across the systems to provide consistent environments for your workflows.

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

Sharing Fonts Across Your Computers

To share fonts with your other computers, follow these steps:

1. Select the font or set you wish to share.
2. Select the Set menu command, and click the Share Set icon.

… or just right-click the font or set and choose Share.

FontAgent then uploads the selected fonts and associated tags to the cloud where your other computers can view and download the fonts.

Using Fonts Shared from Your Other Computers

When you share fonts and sets from your other computers, FontAgent uploads them to the cloud. To access those fonts, select the Share > Sync with Server menu command. Then click the Shared set in the Sets Sidebar and FontAgent displays the shared fonts in its Main Window. You can select, view and activate those shared fonts just like any other font in your local FontAgent catalog.

Please respect the license requirements of your various fonts. To remain in compliance with your license terms, please be sure you have licensed enough seats for the fonts you share across devices.

Unsharing Fonts on FontAgent Sync

To unshare fonts you have previously shared with other users in your workgroup, follow these steps:

1. Select the font or set you wish to unshare.
2. Open the Share menu and click the Unshare Font or Unshare Set command.

     … or just right-click the font or set and choose Unshare.

When you unshare fonts in your FontAgent Sync workgroup, the fonts become unavailable to everyone in the group. To once again make unshared fonts available to your workgroup, right-click the fonts and select Share from the pop-up menu.

Sharing Fonts Across Mac and Windows Computers

FontAgent enables you to sync and share fonts across across Windows and Macintosh computers. As the table below shows, OpenType, Windows TrueType and TrueType Collection fonts work on both systems.

Starting in 2011, Microsoft and other vendors began dropping support for Windows Type 1 fonts, and Apple and Adobe started soon thereafter. The current versions of the Windows and Mac operating systems no longer support Type 1 fonts.
