Introduction

Eagle stores fonts directly in your system's font library, allowing them to be used across all applications on your computer. However, when you need to use the same fonts on different devices, you'll need to understand how font activation works across multiple systems.

Current Font Synchronization Status

When you install fonts through Eagle, they are added to your operating system's font library. This ensures the fonts are available system-wide for all applications. However, because font installation happens at the device level, fonts installed on one device won't automatically appear on another device.

Cross-Device Synchronization Solutions

Although Eagle doesn't directly support font synchronization across devices, you can achieve this using the following methods:

Using third-party cloud storage services: Utilize services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or other cloud storage solutions to upload your entire .library folder to the cloud. Configure automatic synchronization for this folder across all your devices. This way, any changes made to the library on one device will automatically reflect on all other devices. Important: Avoid editing the same files in the library simultaneously to prevent data conflicts.
Using NAS for synchronization: If your company has already configured a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system with file synchronization capabilities, you can store the .library folder on the NAS. By connecting to the NAS through your internal network or VPN, workstations can access and update library content from any location.

Important Considerations

When using third-party cloud services or NAS for synchronization, ensure all team members using Eagle have installed the same version of the software to avoid compatibility issues. Regularly back up important data, including your library files, personal photos, emails, and other important documents to minimize potential losses in case of unexpected issues.
