Free Font Resources There are a fantastic variety of free font
resources on the Web. These range from traditional designs to the
artsy and far-out. Few things can make your computer and your
graphics designs come alive more than having a variety of fonts. Click
here for info on how to download and install fonts on your
computer. Note: many free font sites these days are plagued with
loads of annoying pop-up ads that can make browsing for fonts
difficult. To cope with these sites, we recommend Popup Manager, a
free utility that automatically blocks pop-up ads.
