Technical writers have an unnatural obsession with fonts. Probably because fonts are the only “pretty” thing we can do with a hardware specifications document or user guide.
Now, make that technical writer a scrapbooker … on technical writing email lists populated by other scrapping technical writers … and you get periods of posts listing cool font sites. And a hard drive full of fonts.
I’m passing along the latest list of locations for “cool fonts”. The dingbats site looks particularly appealing.
I’ve done a quick check of these sites, and they all seem to be legitimate, independent font sites. Didn’t make my spyware, antivirus, or firewall software programs send up alarms. Most of these sites have a combination of free fonts, shareware fonts, and fonts for purchase. Maybe you’ll find a new font to fall in love with.
