Affected versions

This article applies to all versions of Universal Type Server and Universal Type Client, and all versions of the Connect Fonts for Desktop app. Fonts must be exported out of Universal Type Client and imported into Connect Fonts for Desktop app.

Locating PostScript fonts in Universal Type Client

Type 1 fonts will show as "PostScript" in the info panel. Multiple Master fonts (a variant of Type 1 fonts) will show as "PostScript - MM" in the info panel.

  1. Open Universal Type Client.
  2. Log in using an account with Full Administrator privileges, such as the default administrator account.
  3. Search for PostScript fonts in All Server Fonts workgroup by choosing Edit > Find Fonts.
    A.   Select "Type" from the first dropdown menu, "matches" from the second menu, and "PostScript" from the third menu.
    B.   Click the plus (+) button to add a second search condition; select "Type" from the first dropdown menu, "matches" from the second menu, and "PostScript - MM" from the third menu.

Collecting PostScript fonts for output out of Universal Type Client

  1. Select all of the PostScript fonts found by choosing Edit > Select All.
  2. Choose File > Collect Fonts for Output; when the save dialog opens, save the fonts to your preferred location.

Universal Type Client will create a Collected Fonts folder and place copies of your PostScript fonts in the folder.

Importing PostScript fonts into Connect Fonts for Desktop

Importing PostScript fonts into Connect Fonts must happen through the Connect Fonts for Desktop app, and not through Connect Fonts for Web.

Before importing PostScript fonts into Connect Fonts, you might first consider creating a Team Library to house the PostScript fonts to keep them separate from your other fonts. See Organizing Fonts in Libraries and Sets for more information on how to create a Team Library.

Once your Team Library is created, log into the Connect Fonts for Desktop app as an Administrator or other account with permission to add fonts to that library, and drag and drop your folder of PostScript fonts you collected out of UTS into it. The PostScript fonts will upload to the Team Library automatically.
