Shamrocking


Do you enjoy navigating absurdly undersized interfaces to download your free fonts? Then I’ve got just the site for you: Shamrocking! Get your eyes an inch or two from the monitor and check out their free font page (that’s the entire page pictured above).

I actually like the fonts a lot, and a little squinting doesn’t bother me. YMMV (IIRC, IANAL, LOL).

Update: Uh, so apparently it’s the right size in IE. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Here’s a direct link to the .swf file, for those who actually want to view it at a reasonable size:

Looks alright in IE. Looks tiny in firefox. It’s a bug in firefox, I’d look it up, but I’m too lazy. For it not to happen, you need to put a div or table around the flash movie with width=100%, IIRC.

Interestingly enough, links to all of the font zips are in the html source, just there isn’t any text. If you use downThemAll, you can get all the fonts easily, though.
