Extensis Announces Universal Type Server at Macworld Expo

New product line offers the only professional and scalable font management
client/server solution for both large corporations and smaller creative
environments.

Macworld Conference and Expo, SAN FRANCISCO, CA., January 15, 2008 --
Extensis, a brand of Celartem Inc., today announced Universal Type Server,
its next generation server-based font management solution for both
Macintosh and Windows environments. Universal Type Server will benefit
creative professionals, workgroups and IT administrators alike by offering
three editions of the solution: Universal Type Server Lite, Professional
and Corporate editions. Extensis will be showcasing Universal Type Server
at its Macworld Expo booth #1020 this week.

Universal Type Server is Extensis' next generation font server capable of
handling all font-related issues that may arise while working in
font-intensive workflows. Universal Type Server provides an easy-to-use and
intuitive tool for creative users and a robust, scalable and flexible
solution for IT administrators. Universal Type Server offers:

* Simple server and user administration via web-based applications

* Stable and fast Java-based server with a secure SQL backend

* Active Directory integration

* Support for both Mac and Windows clients independently or simultaneously

* Support for mobile users: administrators can work from anywhere; users can go

'offline' and still access the fonts they need

* Font license tracking

* Fast type activation

* Fast, customizable previews driven by Apple's Core animation technology

* Automated organization of font libraries via classification, foundry,
file type, custom keywords, etc.

* Elegant, intuitive client interface

* Native support for Intel-based and PPC-based Macs

* Font Sense powered auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe InDesign and
Illustrator CS3/CS2 and XTensions for QuarkXPress 6.5/7

"Universal Type Server is more than just a combination of our popular
Suitcase and Font Reserve Server products." said Martin Stein, Extensis
Vice President of Products and Services. "It was built from the ground up,
utilizing the most up-to-date technologies and open architecture platforms.

We've combined the strengths of both existing products while adding
reliability, stability, greater performance and improved scalability, as
well as cool new features, all within a new and modern architecture. This
is the most significant font management product ever developed by Extensis."

Universal Type Server will support Extensis' patented Font Sense technology
offering users the ability to automatically activate the exact versions of
fonts used in a document when that document is opened. Unlike basic
auto-activation, Font Sense works seamlessly to allow for a deep level of
font analysis instead of simply selecting and activating the first font
with the same PostScript or font menu name. Font Sense avoids silent font
substitution, incorrect glyphs, text re-flows, and layout issues, resulting
in greater efficiency and automated workflows.

Universal Type Server Lite -- Designed to be robust yet affordable, this
edition allows customers to use up to 10 concurrent connections. The Lite
edition is ideal for smaller creative workgroups or design firms that need
to have access to and share fonts.

Universal Type Server Professional -- Is the natural upgrade edition for
existing Suitcase Server

X1 and Font Reserve Server customers. The Professional edition allows up to
250 concurrent connections and is an ideal and affordable solution for
mid-size organizations that do not require external databases.

Universal Type Server Corporate -- Is ideal for large corporate workgroups.
It allows for more than 250 concurrent connections and includes Active
Directory and External Database (MS SQL 2005) functionality.

Pricing and Availability

Universal Type Server is currently beta testing and is expected to ship in
Spring 2008. Universal Type Server and all clients will be available
free-of-charge to existing customers under a current Annual Service
Agreement (ASA). Pricing for all versions, including upgrades, will be
announced prior to product availability.

Universal Type Server will be available in English, French and German.
