> fontsquirrel, dafont, urbanfont while these sites are fine if you're looking for a cool display font for a poster or something, it's quite hard to find fonts there suitable for heavy use because many of them are really (really) badly kerned and miss many glyphs you need in most texts. there's probably a few to be found there (especially on FontSquirrel), but it's real hard to tell before downloading and trying them on a full paragraph, as the sites are very specifically designed to answer the question "does my short title / logo look good in this font?" instead of "is it a good font to use in Word?".

:-) Tell me about it! I've found a few good ones on them (see my reply to Century clones elsewhere on this post) and a looooot of bad ones as you mentioned. And sadly, poster/logo is not my area, but body text is. > but it's real hard to tell before downloading and trying them on a full paragraph +1 :-/ I know what you mean. (Mido comes to mind immediately!) Perhaps Smashing Magazine is not very popular around here(?), but I check back now and then with them, since they provide links to some very interesting and complete fonts from time to time.
