The sad truth is that most of the original free fonts on the web are <a href="http://dafont.com/en/theme.php?cat=603" rel="nofollow">really</a> <a href="http://pro.wanadoo.fr/dephitro/fonts.html" rel="nofollow">awful</a> <a href="http://www.free-fonts.com/handwriting_fonts.html" rel="nofollow">handwriting</a> <a href="http://www.scrappinfun.com/fonts.html" rel="nofollow">fonts</a>. This is why it’s handy to have someone with Stephen’s encyclopedic knowledge keeping an eye on us.

The sad truth is that most of the original free fonts on the web are really awful handwriting fonts.

High quality free fonts that are also truly original (not copies or digital derivations of other fonts) are few and far between.

I like <a href="http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=debussy" rel="nofollow">Debussy</a>, which they use as the Dunkin Donuts font. Mat: Those are just excerpts. In the near future those pages will be so bloated with <em>incredible</em> posts that the full text would make them unwieldy. Stephen:

That's why this place is so vital. Help us weed out the crap from the good in the freebie realm! That’s just the sort of quality you can expect from amateur type makers.
