Font Management in Publishing...

Thiyagu,
>Font Management in the sense organize, activate & deactivate the fonts in efficient way without duplicates & corruption.

Just install and use a good font manager, such as FontAgent Pro (if you're on a Mac) or Suitcase. Create sets of fonts for your various needs and activate/deactivate those sets or individual fonts as needed. A good font manager can also find duplicate and corrupted fonts.

If fonts become corrupted, you simply replace them with fresh copies. In a properly set up system using well-engineered fonts from reputable foundries, you should rarely have fonts that don't perform properly.

If you mean which fonts can be accessed across a network (assuming your font licenses allow for multiple workstation installation), you can install fonts centrally and use a server version of font management software.
>WYSIWYG, simply how the screen fonts get viewed and how fonts can be printed as Postscript outlines without problems.

Not sure what you're asking for here. Be aware that font technology has been migrating strongly over to OpenType. For example, Adobe has not produced PostScript (Type 1) fonts for about ten years. Why is PostScript (Type 1) so important here? Also, you don't address TrueType fonts.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for your kind support and help.

Our goal is to achieving good font management in our publishing industry. Font Management in the sense organize, activate & deactivate the fonts in efficient way without duplicates & corruption. WYSIWYG, simply how the screen fonts get viewed and how fonts can be printed as Postscript outlines without problems. If corruption or some problem occurs then how we can find out causes and remedies for it. Also we have to talk about fonts within the specific applications (Quark, 3b2, TeX, & Adobe applications etc...) as you said above. Finally choosing the correct fonts for various devices to achieve the good result. Then only we can achieve the good font management.

I think now its clear for you. If it isn't clear, please suggest me how to formulate these things.

Also suggest me Font Management in Publishing... for this header what are all things we should cover and how make this project very effective.

Thiyagu

I'm equally confused....

Thiyagu,

>Our motive is to find font related problems in all applications and solutions for it.

I read your post twice, and I'm not quite sure what kind of information you're seeking, how such information will be used or who your audience is.

Are you concerned with specific technical problems that exist in certain fonts? Font design issues? How font corruption and duplicate fonts affect applications? How to organize/activate/deactivate fonts? Use of fonts within specific applications (QuarkXPress, InDesign, Publisher, Illustrator, etc.)? How to select fonts and use them effectively? How fonts output to various devices? Etc.?

There's a lot that can be suggested, but you say "font management" in your topic header, but "font related problems" further on.
