Free Computer Fonts

Finding free computer fonts is a hectic experience because there are so many options available that knowing which sites to use is daunting. Quite a few websites promise free computer fonts, but you have to sign up for an account and pay an annual or monthly fee, or the sites embed the font you are looking for within multitudes of fonts you have to purchase. The following font sources on the Internet provide 100% free fonts for you to download.

At 1001 Free Fonts, choose from 1001 free computer fonts. Initially, when you first get to the site, the list of fonts is presented to you alphabetically. You can search for fonts by type or name (if you happen to know one of the names) or you can click on a category like 3D, Decorative, or Horror and narrow down the style of font you need that way. Downloads are available for Windows or Mac machines.

Dafont offers numerous free fonts, but make sure you read the license that is associated with the font. Three types of licenses are listed: Free for personal use, Creative Common/GNU License and simply Free. As of this writing, there are over 9,500 fonts on the site and they are searchable by theme and font style. You can also view the top 100 downloaded fonts to see what everyone else likes. On this site you will also find fonts that resemble the scripts you see in movie titles and movie credits. For example, you can download a font that looks like the 28 Days Later and Men In Black titling. One unique theme you may want to check out for fun is the TV/Movie listing in the Dingbat section.

There are over 6,500 free computer fonts at Web Page Publicity. The web page is actually part of a web site that offers free tools and services for web promotion. Even though there are a lot of fonts to peruse, they are only organized alphabetically. Searching through the list you can find some unique fonts, but you will spend an ample amount of time looking through them.

One of the larger free computer fonts repository on the Internet is Search Free Fonts. With over 13,000 fonts to choose from, you surely will find something to fit your needs. Since there are so many fonts on this website, the creators have inserted them into a number of categories to help you find the style you want. Some different categories you'll notice:

• Quirky fonts
• Cool fonts
• Distorted fonts
• Dotted scripts

Besides those and other strangely described categories you'll find regular categories like Script, Kids and Formal fonts. As you look for a font, take some time to learn the history of fonts and how they are created from the number of articles there that you can read.

One of your stops in the search for free fonts should be Simply the Best. They don't sport a large collection as some of the other sites listed above, but you will find some different ones like Asian fonts, Drippy fonts and Retro fonts. Most of the fonts are freeware and shareware, but you will find some commerical ones also. This site is a good place to reload fonts (for a fee, of course) if you've previously had a paid font and need to download it again. The fonts under the Microsoft heading are where you'll find most of the commercial fonts--though there are some knock-off Microsoft fonts that look similar to the originals.

Free is always good, right? You'll find thousands of more free fonts than paid, but with paid you'll usually get support from the creator or manufacturer of the font. It just depends on what you are looking for or how available the style of font is.
