Sharing fonts on a server

I have a server location that I am trying to put our entire studio's fonts. We all want to be able to access, retrieve, and add fonts to the server and for all of us to be pulling from the same Font Book. How can I make this work?

Richard,
iTunes will allow only 5 computers to access your shared music a day. If you still want to go this rout,
You can creat a playlist of what music you want shared
Then;
iTunes preferences,
Sharing,
You can select to only share a specific playlist
You can even set a password so others can't access the music without a password.
Once again though, only 5 users a day.

The dropdown list probably uses the internal font name, and I think the only way to change this is with a font editor, like FontForge or FontLab.
Thanks again Tom. You're right. This seems to be the problem. I need a font editor to change the name. I downloaded Fontforge but couldn't figure out how to use it and Fontlab is too pricey for what I need. In any case, while searching for downloads I read that changing font names is not recommended. It just puzzles me that if I access the font via Mac HD/Library/Fonts, I get the name epgyobld.ttf yet it displays EPSON ëæçsèëëÃÇa in font book and application drop down font lists.
However, I chanced upon a work around in another forum. It involves creating a new font collection folder for each font I want to rename but cannot rename. The new folder is given the name I want and the un-renameable font is put into it e.g. I've placed EPSON ëæçsèëëÃÇa into a new collection folder called EPSON-FUTO-GYOSHO. It means having 8 new folders each containing one font - clumsy but at least I can now find the font when I need it..

Font Agent Pro- sharing font sets

Hi,
I m in need of a font manager that shares fonts within the LAN.
I tried Font Agent Pro, it works well.
But once fonts are shared between 2 systems(say A and B),A has 15 fonts, i need to activate 10 of them in one stretch instead of activating individually so that all 15 fonts are accessible in system B.
Just like sharing fonts in sets, i need to activate fonts(in sharing tab) in sets. Is it possible?
When i share fonts of 2 sets, they do not appear as sets in the shared system. Instead all fonts from 2 sets are mixed up and they r shown.
In the shared system, is it possible to activate one set of fonts(shared)?
If someone has worked with Font Agent Pro, please help me...
Thank You

contact the FAP guys they will get right back to you .

Access Denied when trying to access shared folders on the server with administrative privileges

I have problem accessing shared folder on the server machine from Windows 7 machine even if I try to access it with administrative privileges (server Administrator account). I will try now to explain better my situation.
In my company, we have small network infrastructure with one main server machine (HP ProLiant server) with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and couple of desktop machines. The network is administrated by me.
On Windows Server we have installed and setup DHCP, DNS, Remote Access and Routing, File and Storage and Active Directory services. Desktop machines are having Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Home Premium installed on them. In Active
Directory I have created domain, User groups and Users for employees in my company and so far, I didn't added desktop machines to the domain.
Also, I've created one folder on the server which should contain different projects data for network users and I have set access permissions and security for this folder and shared it on the network (I've added couple of users to one user group and I
gave Full control to this group over this folder). When I try to access this folder from network, I've been asked for login credentials (normally), where I just type in one of users username and password who has been given access permissions to (who is member
of group with full control over the folder). From Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 machines I can access and work on this folder without any problems.
The problem comes with Windows 7 machines. On Windows 7 machines (I have also tried this with Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare) I can access server, I can see its shares, but as soon I try to access folder I've created for projects, I get Access Denied message
with request for User login credentials. Whichever user account I use (even servers main Administrator account) I keep getting this message over and over and I'm unable to access it at all.
I have also tried to access the server through VPN (from local or outside) but I'm getting the same error again. Also I've tried to add these Windows 7 machines to the domain and login with domain user but the result is the same. Turned off both firewalls
(on server and desktop machines, which I know is unnecessary, but lets try it), still same case. I've tried couple more things with registry editor on desktop machines which I found on different forums and websites but still no luck. And now I don't know
what else I can do.
Does anyone knows what's the problem here, have I set something wrong, have not set something I should?

Hi MeipoXu,
thanks for your response. I will first answer on your question.
Yes, the main issue is that we can see the folder when we access the server but we cannot access its contents from Windows 7 machines. I have tried on two machines, one with Windows 7 Home Premium version and the other one with Windows 7 Ultimate version
and the situation is the same.
As you recommended, I've checked Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing and the situation is next: File and Printer Sharing is turned on all layers (Private, Public and Domain) while Network Discovery is off for all layers too. I don't know if this
is normal thing but Network Discovery cannot be turned on in Windows Server (I'm able to select Turn on Network Discovery and apply the changes, but when I get back to this settings page, I again see that it's turned off, so I assume this can't be changed
at all).
I also tried with icacls in command prompt and everything seems to be ok there regarding permissions. Share permissions are set to Full control to Everyone and Security permissions are set to Full control only for Administrators and the user group I've created
for employees in my company. The confirmation for this is that on Windows 8 machines you can access this folder without any problem and without getting any message connected with access permissions with any user account within this user group. This share is
created through File and Storage Services service in Server Manager panel.
And then something came up on my mind. I went in Server Manager to check shared folder settings in File and Storage Services and under Settings page I saw that "Encrypt data access" has been enabled (I enabled this option because I thought
I will get more security with this option). I asked my self what would happen if I disable it, tried it and now everything works ok on Windows 7 machines too. Now I assume that Windows 7 doesn't have this feature implemented or there are some
settings which needs to be set on Windows 7 machines to make this encryption thing work with Windows Server. So basically, I will let this feature off for now until I find out more about it and how to implement it to work with all operating systems.
I want to thank you once more for your kind help!

Using Exchange Web Service (EWS) Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

Hi,
I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed
with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?
Thanks,
Richard

>> Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox
Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)
>> In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.
Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.
Cheers
Glen

Shared Variable Engine OPC Server & Matrikon OPC Explorer

Hello All
I have a shared variable Engine OPC server running on my IPC. I am querying NI OPC Server through Matrikon OPC Client. My situation is if shared variable engine process is switched forcefully off (NI DSM) or communication between server and client is lost then client is crashing which is quite obvious. But the problem is if Server is Up again then the client is not connecting to server automatically.
First of all is it possible, that if server is up again then it will try to send some signals to the priviously connected clients ? If yes then do i have to make changes in shared variable engine properties ? How i can do this ?
I hope you all will understand my problem, if not please post you doubts. I will try to clear my points.
Thanks & Regrad´s
Varun Garg

Hi, just now I face a similar problem. When clients restart connection, the variable engine crash, for now the only way founded is restart the program programmatically, but I'm interested in how fix that.

If you are using EWS to access a mailbox other than the one connected to a specific account, you will want to check out EWS impersonation. I've found it to be more reliable than any other method for accessing a second mailbox.

Shared font does not work when changed

Hi, I am using a shared font in an eLearning course. The font
is in a separate library file and is used in all pages. But if I
change the font in the font properties, the text in the other pages
does not show up. Has any one come across a solution for this
issue?
Thanks.

Unicode Symbols in Shared Font Libraries

I am working on a project using an unusual unicode glyph set.
The language is Salish, a Native American language of the
Northwestern United States. I can get the glyphs to show up when I
embed the unicode font directly into the text field with the unique
characters added to the embedded font list, but they don't show up
when I use the same font that is included through a shared font
library. Is there a way to make sure the font library I create by
making font symbols contains and displays the glyphs I need?
Thanks.

Searching for shared files over a server network using a client computer

I think spotlight can only be used to search for files on a local computer. Is there a way to search for shared files on a server from a logged in client computer?

It should work on shared HFS volumes. You would have to start the search from the Finder, not from the Spotlight menu.

Sharing fonts in flash

Hi,
is it possible for sharing fonts across different movies? We
use embedded fonts in our movie and since we have many of them, it
is making the movie size bigger and longer time to load. We wanted
to check if we can embed a font in a movie and then import that
movie in my main movie so that we can still use the embedded font.
We use a textarea field which is dynamically created using
'createTextField' command in action sript. What we have in place is
something similar to a Rich Text editor where we will have the
embedded font in a dropdown and selection of the font will change
the style of the text in the textarea. Pls help me in fixing the
problem. Appreciate any help.

How to include certain shared fonts (AS2 on CS3)

Hey everyone,
I have a project which uses three different embedded fonts within it across a number of different swfs. As a result i have a separate fonts.swf file which contains the fonts and then i share them (so as not to have to load them within each swf file). The problem is that the three fonts can change depending on certain variables passed into the main swf file so the fonts.swf file actually contains about 12 fonts. Which three fonts are used are defined within the variables that are passed into the main swf file. Whilst this works fine it means that each time i have to load all 12 fonts which makes for a large filesize and takes quite a while to download on a slow connection (plus i want to add more fonts in the future).
I can't for the life of me work out how to dynamically embed shared fonts so i only have to load the 3 fonts that are actually needed. I am currently using this method but this involves manually placing a movieclip on the stage (or exporting it in the first frame). I can't see how to do this using AS2 (which would allow me to create a separate swf for each font). Similarly if i use a shared library i'm not sure how i would go about only importing certain libraries using AS2 (rather than doing it manually).
I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could point me towards the right way of doing this as i'm not sure what to do at this stage.
Thanks so much for your help in advance,
Dave

To correctly use bold and italic style you have to embed a separate font for each in the library and set the font style in the font properties.
With the TextFormat whole text is put on one font so you have to to the following then:
txtExample.htmlText = "I am bold I am italic I am default".
There is no other way than to use the font face property in html text to have different text styles within one TextField.
("bold" and "italic" are the linkage ids in the library)

Shared fonts character set

Hi all,
I've got a big problem with font handling in flash. I'm
currently developing a international multilingual site.
I'm using shared fonts to be able to load different
font-files for different languages.
My problem is how to create font files with different
character sets?
If I create a font symbol in the library and assign a Class
to the symbol and check Export for ActionScript it works fine for
Latin1 ( I think it's Latin1 ).
I can see in the size report that the correct characters are
exported.
Now let's say I wanted to export a file with Thai characters.
If I add a dynamic textfield on stage, set font to my font-symbol
in the library and embed Thai characters and export I still get
Latin1 characters.
If I then uncheck Export for ActionScript end export I get
the correct characters. The problem is that if I dont have any
Class tied to the font I cant access it in my FontManager class. My
FontManager loads and registers the fonts available to the app. I
then query the FontManager for the "bold" font or "regular" etc
etc.
For this to work need a reference to the class to be able to
get the properties of the font, fontName, fontStyle and fontType. I
also have to register the font class with Font.registerFont( Class
I've even tried to change system language om my computer
without luck.
Any ideas anyone?

Open a DOS window and do the following :
