Terminal Server Fonts in SoftGrid

Just wanted to ping this up to the community as this has been an interesting talking point to a number of our Terminal Server/Citrix customers. In the past Softricity SoftGrid never use to be able to virtualize fonts in terminal server environments. To add to this In SoftGrid 4.1 Service Pack 1 we released the following knowledge base article https://support.microsoft.com/kb/938497 we received a number general guidelines. One of these guidelines is around font in terminal services

This statement in the 4.1 SP1 Release Notes would appear to be incorrect.  We test virtualized fonts in a streamed app in a Terminal Server environment. This functionality is in the product and can be utilised. We now be virtualizing fonts properly on Terminal Server.

The great thing is that now you can now not need to have a dependency on adding fonts to your base Windows Terminal Server platform.

So just to restate this in big and bold words. SoftGrid 4.1 Service Pack 1 Client for Terminal Servers DOES virtualize fonts.
