Self-confessed...

You made my day :) :) :)

There should just be a font organization whose only purpose is to track down fonts and have them at one easy to use website.

You Guys.....!:rolleyes:

We have had some links posted where to get free fonts, how about everyone posting what their favorite font(s) is(are) and the source.

I'll start--One font I find myself using often is Care Bear Family. Several sites offer it free. One link is:

Hi Diana ...

Why not start this in a new thread in Pixel Hangout ... its just that if we all answer in here then the original information about font sites is going to be lost in the thread ... :)

Font Book (Mac OS X) reported a problem with this font.. Wendy, did you encounter a problem as well?

Bump... to make sure Wendy or some other Mac users read my message... thanks! :)

Thanks, Ray-I didn't even know about validating fonts. Is there a way to do this prior to installing?

[Carbone]

Double click on the Font file, it'll open in Font Book preview screen. Click on Install and Front Book will validate it.

Though it works ok if you move the font file for Care Bear directly in the Library / Fonts folder, using Font Book to install it gives this error and refuses to install.

Ray
P.S. Font Book is a Mac OS Panther & Tiger exclusive. If you're running an earlier version (i.e. 10.2 and prior), no luck :(

[CarolLHB]

Thanks again...is there anything you don't know??:D :D You're the best!

[Carbone]

Oh well, you see, I just learned how to bake a Banana Bread (thanks Diana !!!). I was a lousy cook. I could actually spoil boiled water :D

Seriously, when I like something, I like it a lot, so I research abundantly to learn the max I can.

Ray

[GaryK]

ooooo Ray

When you come in the spring..bring some banana bread for us Ontario people.

[Karin Sue]

How about a link or two to font managers?

Windows xp, windows 98, mac OS 9.2

[Carbone]

Gary,

As a matter of fact, I cooked one for a friend at the office yesterday evening. Moment she got it, she wanted the recipe :)

Ray

[Carbone]

Karen,

I've never devoted enough time to font management, but one place to start your research is www.versiontracker.com

This website has lots of movie fonts, book title fonts, and much more http://www.typenow.net

[Diana]

Hi Jones,

Please don't do that to me! More fonts to temp me!:p I'm one of the several font addicts here. Thanks for the link.

I knew I should NOT have logged into the forum tonight (um, I mean, the wee hours of the morning :rolleyes:). Now look what you have done to me... I have to click on all the font links to see if there's a few I don't have! :p Another sleepless night all because of PET!
