FontAgent Pro Update Introduces Interface Enhancements,
Improved Security and Faster Performance

New Architecture Offers Automatic System Detection and Self-Optimizatio

April 6, 2006 [Los Gatos, Calif] – Insider Software announced today the immediate availability of FontAgent_^® Pro version 3.2, which combines new database technology with the industry’s premier implementation of network home directory architecture. Insider has attained performance gains that offer nearly a threefold performance advantage in import operations over competing products, while also exhibiting substantial performance increases in other critical operations.

Network Home Directory Functionality Provides Users with Greater Mobility

Network home directory support conveys substantial benefits to users of font management software. Sometimes called a “mobile account”, home directories are stored on a server, so a user can log into any computer, where they will be presented with their familiar customized desktop environment, including all personal files, application preferences and font libraries and sets. All changes are stored to the home directory, which makes backing up that information much simpler. This solution is also ideal for computer labs where user access from multiple locations is desirable. It is essential, however, to prevent users from making unauthorized changes to other computers, and FontAgent Pro’s security features make unauthorized modification virtually impossible.

Automatic Performance Optimization Boosts Performance

FontAgent Pro has accomplished its substantial performance gains by developing auto-optimization technology that analyzes the system and automatically adjusts the database access logic to maximize efficiency. FontAgent Pro ensures that all user files are stored within the home directory and then optimizes the database to minimize data access requests, unlike other applications that may scatter files across several locations causing performance to suffer.

“It’s freakin’ fast…there’s no lag,” said beta tester Matthew Foust of Black Design. “FontAgent Pro is the way to go,” he added.
