<p>Extensis Universal Type Server Offers a Modern Approach to Centralized Font<br />
Management</p>
<p>New corporate solution delivers for cross-platform workgroups.</p>
<p>PORTLAND, OR, June 11, 2008 - Extensis, a brand of Celartem Inc., today<br />
announced availability of Universal Type Server, its next generation<br />
server-based font management solution for both Macintosh and Windows<br />
environments. Universal Type Server will ship on June 18, 2008. Extensis<br />
will begin taking pre-orders for the product immediately.</p>
<p>Universal Type Server is a new breed of font management solution. More than<br />
just a "distribution" system, it is a true client/server solution that<br />
genuinely manages fonts and font metadata such as licenses,<br />
classifications, foundries and keywords, allowing users to collaborate in<br />
shared environments. Using granular and role-based permissions, Universal<br />
Type Server manages font licenses and compliancy by ensuring that users<br />
have access to only the fonts they are licensed to use, and that rogue<br />
fonts cannot be added to the system. Automatic font classification and font<br />
family grouping, dynamic smart sets and shared sets, all ensure a high<br />
level of productivity and usability.</p>
<p>"We listened to our users and they told us what they really needed from a<br />
font management solution," said Brian Berson, General Manager at Extensis.<br />
"They asked for centrally managed fonts in a controlled but easy to<br />
implement environment. Universal Type Server delivers web- and Flex-based<br />
tools; a usable, modern interface; and reliable, open SQL-based<br />
architecture. Universal Type Server is an extremely capable and powerful<br />
solution that is also easy and fun to use."</p>
<p>Designed to meet the needs of IT environments, Universal Type Server<br />
leverages a modern Java-based server architecture built on top of<br />
industry-proven open source technologies. This enables Universal Type<br />
Server to deliver stability, scalability, and speed while requiring very<br />
low overhead. Due to its services-oriented architecture, administrators can<br />
manage the server and users from anywhere via the web-based administration<br />
interface, and package-based installers distribute the client software from<br />
a central location, allowing IT administrators to deploy and manage the<br />
entire solution without ever needing to visit a client workstation.<br />
Active-Directory import and automated backup are just a few more of the<br />
features that contribute to making Universal Type Server extremely<br />
IT-friendly.</p>
<p>"Font management is vital and necessary in our business and the<br />
introduction of Universal Type Server has been one of the most anticipated<br />
software launches in the publishing industry," said Ed Haynes, Customer<br />
Support Manager of Future Publishing in the U.K. "We have been working with<br />
the pre-release version of Universal Type Server for the past few months<br />
and are convinced it will provide a solid foundation for centralised font<br />
management whilst offering easy-to-use functionality for our creative<br />
staff."</p>
<p>Universal Type Server allows users to forget about font management and<br />
focus on their work- uninterrupted. The client provides an offline mode for<br />
mobile users who are not connected to the network but need access to fonts<br />
while on the road. The Universal Type Client includes a modern SQL-based<br />
architecture that runs as a background application, delivering fast font<br />
handling, even when the client application is not open. Through the new<br />
state-of-the-art modern user-interface, end users have access to<br />
unprecedented font previews, immediate font activation / deactivation, and<br />
superior metadata handling and searching capabilities.</p>
<p>Also included in the product are all new auto-activation plug-ins which<br />
automatically turn fonts on and off within the professional creative<br />
applications users leverage every day including: Adobe InDesign and<br />
Illustrator and QuarkXPress. Auto-activation operates in the background and<br />
provides creative professionals with the ability to seamlessly work in<br />
their chosen applications while automatically activating the exact fonts.<br />
Universal Type Client eliminates font conflicts and silent substitutions<br />
with Extensis' proprietary Font Sense font matching capabilities. The<br />
patented Font Sense technology creates a unique ID for each font - like<br />
font fingerprinting- to ensure font consistency as documents move from<br />
design, to editing/review, to production.</p>
<p>Product Configuration<br />
Universal Type Server is available in two different versions: Universal<br />
Type Server Professional for larger departments and corporations and<br />
Universal Type Server Lite for small environments up to 10 users.</p>
<p>Universal Type Server Professional - Developed for mid-size to large<br />
corporate workgroups. It allows for the ability to purchase an unlimited<br />
number of concurrent client connections. The built-in controls allow an<br />
Administrator to create an environment as open and flexible or as<br />
locked-down and controlled as necessary.</p>
<p>Universal Type Server Lite - Designed to be robust yet affordable, this<br />
edition allows customers to use a maximum of 10 concurrent client<br />
connections. The Lite edition is ideal for smaller creative workgroups or<br />
design firms that need access to shared fonts but may have little or no IT<br />
support.</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability<br />
Universal Type Server will ship on June 18th. Extensis will begin taking<br />
pre-orders for the product immediately.</p>
<p>The Windows client for Universal Type Server will be released in Summer 2008.</p>
<p>Universal Type Server Professional is available at an estimated retail<br />
price of US $1,800.00 for the Server plus $165.00 per Client Connection.<br />
Universal Type Server Professional and associated clients include a<br />
one-year Annual Service Agreement.</p>
<p>Universal Type Server Lite sells for an estimated retail price of US $1,395<br />
and includes 10 Client Connections.</p>
<p>Font Reserve Server and Suitcase Server customers, under a current Annual<br />
Service Agreement, will receive both the server and clients for free.<br />
Customers with Font Reserve Server version 1.5 (and higher) or Suitcase<br />
Server 11.0.4 (and higher) without an Annual Service Agreement are eligible<br />
for upgrade pricing.</p>

<p>About Font Sense<br />
Extensis' patented Font Sense technology offers users the ability to<br />
automatically activate the exact versions of fonts used in a document when<br />
that document is opened. Unlike basic auto-activation, Font Sense works<br />
seamlessly to allow for a deep level of font analysis instead of simply<br />
selecting and activating the first font with the same PostScript or font<br />
menu name. Font Sense avoids silent font substitution, incorrect glyphs,<br />
text re-flows, and layout issues, resulting in greater efficiency and<br />
automated workflows.</p>
<p>About Universal Type Server<br />
Design, print and publishing businesses face many challenges managing their<br />
font workflows for consistency, compliance and efficiency. Universal Type<br />
Server is the next-generation, client/server font management solution that<br />
handles all font-related issues for all types of creative workflows.<br />
Small-to-medium sized workgroups-even those with little-to-no IT<br />
support-now have a powerful, yet cost-effective, server solution that<br />
delivers efficient, easy-to-deploy, easy to maintain font management.<br />
Larger corporate environments now have a robust, stable and high performing<br />
solution that hits the mark with both font administrators and creative<br />
users. Macintosh and Windows systems are fully supported both on the<br />
administrator- and client-side.</p>
