15 Excellent Free Font Resources
I wanted to share web pages where to find great free fonts, so I looked after the most popular web pages where to find some. If You don’t know how to install one, it’s easy:
a) Windows XP – put font into C:/windows/fonts directory;
b) Windows Vista – right-click on the font files, then click “Install”;
c) Mac OS X – double-click the font file, then click “Install font” button.
1. Dafont.com
Dafont has the biggest collection of free fonts and has been updated constantly. This is my personal favorite one – 8,276 fonts for now.
I like this one, because of categories split in detail and type your text preview feature – allowing You to use it like font viewer browsing over pages, while choosing the best solution.
2.Typenow.net
Last update has been made at 29th April of 2007, but there are 6,846 different fonts. I think worth looking.
3.Urbanfonts.com
Also huge selection of different typefaces. There is over 8,000 free fonts out there!
4. Creamundo.com
Over 9,800 fonts available there, also has very nice preview feature.
5. Showfont.net
Over 9,800 more fonts out there!
6. 1001freefonts.com
And one more page worth checking out, they don’t say exactly how much fonts there are, but I am pretty sure that more than 1001 
7. Abstractfonts.com
Nice page with 11,813 free fonts available for now.
8.Simplythebest.net
Each font has a full preview page with proprietary details.
9. WebpagePublicity.com
Over 6,500 free TTF fonts.
10. Fonts500.com

11. Searchfreefonts.com
