Is there a way to serve fonts to client OS 9/OS X computers from OS X Server? We at our office have a large collection of Macintosh fonts and would like to have them in a unified place. Before now, we have been (are currently are) using ATM Deluxe to manage fonts, but only on individual computers. Is font serving is OS X Server, or is there a way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Very easy:

Select a folder as a share point, it will be seen as a network disk
Call it "Shared Fonts"
Copy all your fonts in this folder.
Remove the fonts from the "client" (by opposition to "Server") Macs
Re-import all the fonts from the network into ATM

That's what we did in the agency I work, it is OK!
