I am interested in doing a font audit at the small publishing company I work for, and am looking for tools. I’ve seen the Fontwise site, and tried their little standalone demo, but wasn’t overly impressed and am seeking other options. Is anyone aware of alternative network font audit tools? I could just write some scripts, but I bet there are good tools out there already. Please share your experiences and recommendations!

Thanks.

i seem to remember some online tools that could do this… i’m not remembering what they were called or the web address, however. maybe someone will know what i’m talking about.

*edit*
I found what i was looking for. It was the VisiBone Automated Font Survey. I’m not sure if this will do what you need, but perhaps it’s worth a look: http://www.visibone.com/font/tests.html

Thanks for your reply. I’m hoping to find something that will do multiple machines at once and create some sort of summary. I’ve been looking, and Fontwise may indeed be the only thing that does this. I’d love to be corrected on this.

Thanks again.

I am wondering what your ideal soltution would look alike.
