Extensis Universal Type Server ReviewNot ready for prime time - Version: 1.0, 7/7/2008 10:16AM PST

typegeek13
I took UTS for a test drive and I found it to be unintuitive (the server administration protion of the application) and very slow (the server and the client). I don't know why it takes three interfaces to run this software (a Status View, a User Management View and then the UTS client to add fonts). The online administration of the server through a browser is pushed as such a great feature, but you cannot add fonts unless you have the client installed.

The speed is not very good either. On my dual 1.8 ghz G5 there were fonts that would take up to 20 seconds to activate. To me that kind of lag is unacceptable.

I do like the client interface. It is very clean and simple to use, but that does not overcome it's performance shortcomings.

I am definately going to wait for v2 and see if it is improved before I can recommend this software to anyone.
