I have let the font server here be accessed by certain clients wishing to view and print documents I have sent them that use those fonts (I know, that is using a bazooka to hit a gnat,) As I develop a home network, I would rather have my fonts on one machine and serve them out on the lan, rather than worrying about having everything everywhere - and I have most everything on this box - Cyrillic, Arabic, Kanji...
