Full FeedExtensis announces Universal Type Server availability
Extensis has announced its next generation server based font management system for Windows and Macintosh. The system is titled Universal Type Server (UTS), and is shipping on June 18th.
This program provides users with a new way to manage fonts and font metadata all on a server. UTS is designed to be used in IT and Design environments, and uses web based programs to distribute package based installers to specific clients from a single location.
“Font management is vital and necessary in our business, and the introduction of Universal Type Server has been one of the most anticipated software launches in the publishing industry,” said Ed Haynes, Customer Support Manager of Future Publishing in the U.K. “We have been working with the pre-release version of Universal Type Server for the past few months, and are convinced it will provide a solid foundation for centralised font management whilst offering easy-to-use functionality for our creative staff.”
UTS is based upon a SQL architecture, and thus runs as a background program for seamless and uninterrupted font management. Plug-ins provide direct support for many apps, including Adobe applications, InDesign, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress.
UTS Pro is priced at $1,800, which includes unlimited client connections for $165 per connection. UTS Lite is $1,395, with 10 client connections included in the price. You cannot have more then 10 connections with the Lite version. The program requires any version of Mac OS 10.4 or later, or any server version of Windows 2000 or later. UTS will also work on XP XP2, but not Vista, surprisingly.

iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

I think that it’s important to note that the Universal Type Client will be able to run under Windows Vista. It’s the Universal Type Server that requires a true server operating system.
