6500 Free TrueType Fonts
by Jason Clarke on December 15, 2005 at 07:00 AM
Who
doesn’t love fonts, particularly of the free variety? I remember my first
experiences with a Mac – I spent hours, actually DAYS making handouts and
posters with as many different typefaces as possible on them. That was my
introduction to desktop publishing, and it was good. These days we know that
mixing a bunch of fonts on the same page is almost as annoying as the HTML
“blink” tag, but finding the right font for a given print or web page is even
more critical. If you just don’t feel like you have the selection of fonts you
need, check out Webpage Publicity,
where they are offering 6500 free TrueType Fonts, a site dedicated to feeding
your font craving. Beware though, browsing this site can eat away
hours.

This looks almost exactly the same as FreeMacFonts (http://www.freemacfonts.com/) that I have been useing for several years.

Just don't download and install all of them then wonder why your system is so slow. ;)

these days YOU know that mixing as many fonts as possible on one layout is bad.
Unless you were using the royal "we".

Sites like this are a dime in a dozen - why this one is special is beyond me. Maybe it's the sheer number of horrible, horrible fonts. But I digress. A much better alternative would be http://www.dafont.com/en
