I write on behalf of a colleague from my former office. For a long time they have had font issues. They run mainly InDesign CS2 on Windows 2000 and XP machines.

For the majority of our print communication pieces, we use Goudy and Futura. Each of us has those fonts installed on our PCs; however, many times we will open a brochure and it will say Goudy and Futura is missing. We have to manually replace Goudy w/ Goudy and Futura w/ Futura, which is both frustrating and time-consuming. In addition, when someone uses a new font, it's only available locally. So, if that person is out of the office, we can't use that document. We'd like to have a central repository for all the fonts so we can all access the same fonts.

We were told that Suitcase Server from Extensis would solve this problem. Does anyone have experience with this product, and would it work?

Thanks,

Ben
