Hullo, I'm clueless when it comes to fonts, and I only have the ones that comes with Win XP. It would be great if I could get some pointers, and I thought that this would be an nice thread since I can't find anything similar through search.

Post the name of your favorite fonts

To try to keep it in an orderly fashion:
a) Try to post with a download/purchase link
Let us know if it's a part of a set
c) Thumbnails would be beautiful

Moderator Edit:

Awesome thread idea. Renamed, moved, and stuck.

Other excellent fonts can be viewed at Praegnanz. Just click on the letters and find the download links. A PSD of my preview is available here. Also note that fonts are vector-based and are far more beautiful when printed or when rendered in PDF format. An example is my resume, which uses Day Roman and Gentium.

$1,300?

Are you out of your mind?

[gnomexp]

It's for all the weights and, more importantly, the rights to use them. Look at the slanted lettering on a white Apple Keyboard: that's Univers. It's used in print advertising for everything. A less complete but sufficient set is available for around 300 dollars. Creative people can also find it, though that won't happen here.

Univers.. hmmm.. When it comes to sans serif font for general usage I loved Helvetica & Helvetica nue font family out n out.

Here is my top three fav fonts in descending order :

Myriad Pro & Myriad Web family
Helvetica & Helvetica nue
Verdana

Silkscreen is best pixel font. I would say the miniml pixel fonts are good, but I don't have any. :/

[lostspyder]

Fonce Sans

my favorite is no doubt apples default font, but currently im all about HandelMod.

[Austin123]

my favorites would have to be Hei and LucidaMAC

[evilmnky204]

I like HandelGotD (More importantly, HandelGotDLig). Not a huge fan of HandelMod, smoothing HandelMod is kinda wierd. I remember I used to have Hei and loved it, but I kinda ditched it do to lack of characters (i.e. the 1/2 fraction, and others), anyone have a version of Hei with these characters? PM please

Right now my favorite is Gill Sans. I am to a point where it is everywhere on my computer!

[Loops-999]

I just love Calibri...
or
Frutiger Linotype

[Paralex]

04b_03b -- one of my all time favorites, been using it since 2001. (pixel font)
Hei -- good system replacement font
Grand Stylus -- used for graffiti-type graphics
Times New Roman -- good for minimalististic layouts
Century Gothic -- good for minimalistic graphics

[shmengie]

always been a fan of copperplate gothic, myself.

[Slewed]

nonstepnew is my favourite pixel font

i've also begun to like segoeui (at least thats its name on my system). But i suppose microsoft sans serif is the one i end up using the most, since i msn a bit.
