About Font Reserve and Font Reserve Server

Font Reserve, developed by DiamondSoft, Inc. takes a new approach to managing fonts. Unlike other products that are designed primarily to activate fonts, Font Reserve is a true font manager that takes advantage of new, sophisticated database technology. Font Reserve is a completely integrated, background application that collects detailed font data, checks for corruption, provides auto activation, and manages actual font resources.

Font Reserve Server is based on the same database technology and architecture as Font Reserve Single User. It extends the capabilities of Font Reserve to allow multiple users to share, access, activate, and use fonts from a single source. Administrative controls ensure proper use and access of fonts.
