If you are looking for free fonts, check http://www.fonts2u.com. Discovered it just few days ago. Their character map search is awesome. Saved some time when looking for specific character maps supported.

If I was looking to start doing “blogazine” would having access to these fonts help or would I need something else in order to use them? I really “surrounding,” “advent,” and “birth of a hero.” thanks for the site information. You too, Pete!

I believe all of the fonts are free for use Reid, you can download them and use them as you see fit.

Some of these are pretty nice. I always find I never get anything I can use out of these sorts of lists because they’re always a bunch of godawful trendy stuff, but some of these actually feel like 20 years from now they’ll still be relevant.
