Case Study: The Chronicle of Higher Education achieves time savings and centralized font management with Extensis Universal Type Server

Deadline-Friendly Universal Type Server

The Chronicle of Higher Education, a leading source of news, information and jobs for the education and philanthropic sectors, relied on a large variety of licensed fonts across 80 users in four departments. Before adopting a font management solution, IT had to load new fonts on each workstation individually—an error‑prone, time‑consuming process that often required work during lunches or after hours.

The Chronicle implemented Extensis Universal Type Server as a centralized, secure font repository (running on a Mac Mini serving 20 users), allowing organized font collections by workgroup, cross‑platform access and easy server management. The deployment dramatically reduced IT workload, saved countless hours, and made font management nearly effortless for design and production teams.
