FontGear (http://www.fontgear.com) ha released FontPad Server, an Internet server that manages web fonts. On the Mac platform, it’s compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 and higher.

According to the folks at FontGear, FontPad Server provides a safe, controlled, and protected way to serve your own web fonts through an industrial-strength software solution. It’s built exclusively for serving web fonts.

FontPad Server allows you to specify exactly which Internet domains are allowed to use your web fonts, and which font sets are used on allowed web pages. Secure technology serves encrypted font data to the Internet. To use FontPad Server, web page designers include a CSS link in their web pages that automatically requests web fonts from your domain (not a font-rental service).

Pricing is based on annual licensing and is offered at one and three year terms for US$149 and $299, respectively. A 30-day trial version is available for download.
