Ben,
Let me start with, I'm asking questions from a Mac perspective.
What are you using for font management? Are the fonts located in the same location on each machine? How are the fonts activated? (And, are the fonts auto-activated on each machine? Or is that just a Mac feature?)
In addition, when someone uses a new font, it's only available locally.
I don't understand. That font is only installed on that one machine?
Depending upon your font license -- and it varies from font to font; even with different ways that identical fonts are acquired -- you can use a central server for your fonts, and specify privileges for each user. I use single license Font AgentPro on each of my Macs and like the interface. See if there is a server version for Windows available.
Neil
