The free (non sucky) fonts thread

[Guest firemind]

Post your links to free (non sucky) fonts sites here.

 

Please, no crap '1000 free fonts' or 'cool fonts' sites, this thread is dedicated to the hidden gems.

 

EDIT: http://www.typebase.com/ is a nice site with links to most commercial type foundries, should you need a specific font.

here is a site that has many fonts and is free.

(just click on the enter, not on the mac fonts or the pc fonts, once you are entered you can choose mac or pc from each font)

I'm sorry, but that's exactly the kind of crappy font site I hoped to avoid seeing posted here. The '3000 free crappy fonts' sites loaded with banners and pop-ups... :roll:

[Guest borax]

In my experience DaFont (WARNING: pop-up!) is the least sucky 'crappy fonts' site. Quite comprehensive and well categorised.

:idea: People that are fed up with pop-ups in general should try Mozilla Firebird (Mac and PC) or Camino (Mac only) with built-in pop-up blocker 8)

Bitmap fonts by Craig Kroeger. A few free ones, very usable and designed for rendering without aliasing in Flash. Very nice site navigation as well.

Another free pixel font, but a nice one. It's amazing new ones are made tho, especially since flash can now turn antialiasing off.

they have a couple of free fonts, and most important: a "non smoker" dingbat.

Check out the textfont "TF-Ohwale!" and the displayfont "TF-Karma".
