In Universal Type Server, all the fonts in the organization are consolidated into a single, secure location on a server. Fonts are managed as follows:
• The administrator subdivides the fonts into workgroups intended for specific types of users or projects
• The administrator decides which workgroups you need to access.
• You access workgroups, and the fonts within them, through the Universal Type Client application.

• Some users are font administrators, giving them more power over fonts.
