Favourite fonts by Lou on 10-24-2005 at 11:51 PM

As some of you have noticed, I am starting to do alot more design work than before. This keeps my mind off other things and lets me learn new ways of doing things.

I currently started using photoshop, fireworks, and paint all as a team and my results are much better than anything I thought I could do. Of course to most people on here my designs will suck, but I am fairly happy with this.

Any good webdesigner needs good fonts.

So pixel fonts, spray paint fonts, retro fonts...all welcome.

[Free please]

This could be a very good resource for everyone.

Just be sure to include a link to the download:)

Please also include an image, or link to an image showing what the font looks like:)

Recently switched to Andy... Bold... Red.

Sylfaen is my favourite; I think it comes with Windows XP. Simple, but elegant.

I used Andy on my home PC, but since moving to uni and buying a laptop with XP Pro preinstalled I don't have access to Andy anymore. . . . so if anyone wants to attach...:P

how do you attach the font? :s... lol... I'm dumb... I clicked browse, found where the font was under C: and windows... then fonts... But when I tried to open it or whatever it opened a font preview.

Crazy, you're right I just tried it for myself. Never mind, I'll get someone to send it over MSN tomorrow or something. I really should go to bed, it's 4am and I have a lecture at 9 haha.

EDIT: Excuse my rudeness.....Thanks for trying!

RE: Favourite fonts by ipab on 10-25-2005 at 07:09 AM

I don't think so, but it does impact shutdown time, and load times of Photoshop and similar programs.
