Fonts for graphic design

    I'm looking for a nice big bundle of attractive and useful fonts for graphic/web design.

    Sure I can search the internet for days and find millions of free fonts but in reality, only a small proportion of them will actually be worth the bandwidth i use downloading them :p

    Can anyone point me towards a SINGLE download that may include a lot of useful fonts (including pixel fonts)?
    I remember downloading such packages before on my old, retired computer and i believe there were a few hundred to each package!

    I'd be ultimately, super, flaboliciously grateful! Thanks!

    as far as collections go, you're looking at a chunk of change. check out the font packages on http://www.linotype.com/23/fontcollections.html other than that im not sure that you will find many free font collections. your best choice there is browsing www.dafont.com or a similar website and picking out what you want.

    I've bought font CDs off eBay - came with a few thousand fonts and a font viewer, so I spent an afternoon browsing the entire collection and just installing the ones I needed.

    Yeah just pay the $15 or w/e to download a pack of 1,000 fonts, it's really worth it!

    Try UrbanFonts. You've got to get creative with fonts (as do I!) and use a lot of variation - try lots of different syles and all that and you'll find something you really like.

    Thanks everyone for the font sites. I haven't looked for new fonts in awhile and I find I keep using the same ones over and over so it's time to find something fresh!
