I need fonts (I never used any except the windows standards). I know tons of sites offering free fonts for download, but I'd like to know which fonts you woul'd use, especially:

1) A very pixelled font as those guys use in 'pixel arts' images

2) An elegant handwritten font

3) A massive square font as here

4) A natural handwritten font as here

I'd prefer free fonts and I need them for BIG images. Don't need to post a link, the name of the font is enough (if you have a link feel free to share though

Thanx in advance for your advices

The Pixel Fonts are probably from www.miniml.com. There are 3 free fonts there. (kroeger, hooge, and standard)

The others..well, i'm using up too much RAM to check..sorry.

You'll likely have to take an hour or so and surf through some of the font sites listed in the resources section.

also, I get away with using arial and arial black for alot of stuff- but just messing with the height and width percentages, tracking, leading and making layer masks on your type layer.

try it - it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys...

Helvetica, Arial and Trade Gothic are my favs. Times and Myriad work well too for presentations.
