Using Free Fonts

Wendy, in answer to your question on using on-line fonts...

Legally, no one can copyright 'the alphabet', only the 'name' of the font. Anything you find on the 'free sites' is fair game to anyone that wants to use it. However, you want to test the fonts and make sure they work! I've downloaded over 10,000 fonts and purchased a couple CD's to make a total of 13,000+ on my computer. Comes in handy when you have to 'match' a font for a logo. My biggest problem is that a lot of the 'nifty' fonts for free do not have an 'outline' or vector path-so I can't convert them to path or outline.

So go ahead and use whatever fonts you find-just don't get sucked into paying a 'fee' to join a 'group' just to use free fonts. Plenty of completely fee free font sites.
