Handy Free Fonts

[SarahLee]

Just been looking around for a font for a project and I came across this handy site with free fonts for download.

Bookmarked and I thought I'd share it here too in case any of them are of use to anyone else : http://fonts500.com/

Nice one. I was just about to post a link for some free textures and borders. Free is always good

Cheers.

Yep.
I'm happy to pay for things that I really want, but never too proud to turn freebies down either

Also check out dafont.com loads of free fonts there too.

That one looks really good - hopefully both sites will be useful for others as well.

I was after a calligraphy font for some wedding table placecards.
I think I've found one that I want to use, but I'll take a peek there too.
I'm going to be spoilt for choice at this rate !!!

So do you just install the font you like and it appears in Photoshop?
I seem to be always doing banners and such where distinctive fonts are important.
Edit - ah, yes - didn't even need to restart PS!

Nice. Thanks for that. I've used fontface for quite some time now. There're some paid for and lots of free fonts. One you see through the adwords they're quite good too.

Thanks for the link very useful, downloaded some fonts on to desktop, can anyone tell where i place them to use in word and PS CS5. Followed the instructions, such as open the fonts folder in Control panel, copy and paste, but that does not work...

EDIT.
Just noticed i had to Extract from the folder first.Job Done.

Thanks..
