Font management - consolidated, synchronized and shared font library?

[Justin de Kruyf]

Is there a system out there that would let me consolidate the font libraries from all of our prepress computers, allow prepress operators to easily add new fonts from customer-supplied files to this shared font library, and synchronize with their machines automatically or on request?

I've been looking at font management software this morning and mostly been finding solutions designed to manage one user's fonts on their machine without a particular focus on consolidating an entire organization's font library and distributing.

There's the manual route of taking everybody's current font libraries and dumping them into a shared folder, deleting duplicates, and asking operators to throw in new fonts as they are required to use them. Not sure how smoothly this would work in practice and it'd be nice to find a solution designed for this purpose.
