Where do you buy your fonts. I found one I like at fonts.com but was shocked at how expensive it was. Are all the fonts sites about the same or do you find some a lot less expensive than others?

I bought a CD with some 500 fonts on it a while back, and maybe 20 of them are any good. It was a cheap CD though...

Yeah there are a TON of free font sizes. There is even a site where you can search for a font that you don't know the name of. You answer a bunch of questions about the font and then it gives you a list of fonts that you may be looking for. I can't remember what the name of it was, but it was fantastic!

Fontifier is pretty cool. Turn your handwriting or some other style into a font.

You get to see an example before you buy it. Just scan the page they give you to write on.
