The Best Site for Free Fonts
The best site I’ve found so far to download free fonts (to be used in graphic design, web design, or just for fancy Word/OpenOffice documents) is…<drumroll>… It’s organized well, they seem to have new fonts added nearly every day, the fonts range from sophisticated calligraphy to crazy spray painting to symbols of aliens. And of course there’s the boring stuff…

I just signed up (it’s free!) with Affiliate Fleet. I won’t say whom but a good friend is associated with this company and has guaranteed me that they’re going to be huge.
