Well, here we are once again, so lets just roll our sleeves up, take our shoes off and jump right in.
Here are some of the fonts sites that have interested me over the years, months and last few weeks. Some of these sites provide excellent typefaces for a good rate and others for FREE. At the end of the page you can see my own personal favorite site with the most good quality free downloads of some fantastic fonts for your Mac.
[I’ve even put them in some sort of Alphabetical order–what a first. Organised]
These little guys happen to be my own choice of the best of the best. You can’t just say the other site were bad, because any company or individual that takes the time to produce a user friendly and Mac friendly site deserves a pat on the back.
 
First up and my editors choice
would be the truly excellent
Fonthead designs. Slick site
with some stunningly simple but
effective font sets. The site
reminds me of the simple
drawing I enjoyed as a kid,
reading old comics and wishing
‘I want to draw like that’. http://www.fonthead.com/main.html
 
They have a HUGE collection of fonts viewable in their
online catalog.
 You can order fonts securely online.
 Selection of Free fonts.
 They also have resources to help you start to build
your own fonts, with their tips and tricks ‘cookbook’
section.
My runners up, but just as good resources for Mac users hunting down fonts online are these steely bag of www’s.
 
Fountain Fonts
http://www.fountain.nu/fonts/fonts.html
Fountain are based in Sweden and are a young hip online fonting company,
their site can be a little sore on the eyes at times but they have a different
attitude to stunning typefaces.
If I’d have not picked Fonthead as my favorite this next site would have been it:
http://www.custard.co.uk/fluid/Font_Con.html
 
Fluid:Fonts don’t have the biggest selection in the
world but they do have a very cool selection of
stunning typefaces for you to hype up your news
letters or site work.
They have just the right fonts for simple and fast
extras for your web site [when you're on your
30th update this year].
Check the site out for yourself, nice to see a good
quality UK bound site producing a high standard
on the Internet [at last]!
Last but not last [really]
http://www.girlswhowearglasses.com/free.html
An interesting and zany site for the font inflicted, good links section, free fonts, screen savers, help and more. A quality complete site. I’d have to say the site strikes me as very retro and from the 60’s –70’s, but hey, it works. Time and energy put in has made this another of my must visit sites.
There you go, the end of the show, must dash back to the padded room. Until next month.
