I'm looking for fonts to use for a special project, or rather how to use them.


I plan to make a physical product with them.


Any graphics nuts handy??

Adobe has lot of free fonts. I found a bunch on a cd today that came with Adobe CS3 web premium creative suite. I am sure you can get a bunch for free at Adobe.com. HP also has fonts that come with their printers.

Anything you use with a special font, in order for your site visitors to see it, either:

1. The person viewing your web site needs to also have that same font installed on their computer. If they don't, they won't see text on your page in that special font.

2. You need to use the font in a graphic, like a logo, banner or any graphic format. If you use the special font within a graphic, then all will see it in that font.

So keep that in mind, if you were thinking of using the special font to type text on the page, most people will not see that font, but instead the site text content will revert to whatever default font that is installed on their computer.
