FREE Fonts (1001FreeFonts.com)

Fonts are pretty cool and very useful in a lot of graphics, presentation and desktop publishing applications. The problem is that there are lots of sites out there which offer fonts but charge for their use.

Here's one that has good quality fonts and doesn't charge.

1001 Free Fonts

http://www.1001freefonts.com/

This web site that offers, as the name says, 1001 free fonts (possibly more). If you feel like parting with money, they'll allow you to download a pack of 10,000 fonts but you'll probably find something you can use amongst their free offerings.

The site offers fonts for both Mac and Windows (Truetype) and you can access them alphabetically, which is great if you have some idea of the font's name.

Alternatively, you can access them via categories as diverse as; 3D (fonts with shadows), Celtic, Christmas, Dotted, Famous (which has cool fonts from movies, cars and other products), Horror, Medieval, Outline and Sci-Fi (which has Alien, Blade Runner and a few other Sci-Fi films amongst the styles).

There are a lot more categories, I've just listed some of my favourites. Note that the categories don't contain all of the fonts. For instance, there were no Star Wars fonts under Sci-Fi. Instead, I found some alphabetically under S (for example; Star Jedi Hollow)

Previewing

Even better, the fonts can be previewed before you download them. Simply click on the font and type whatever you want in the preview box.

The results display immediately.
