You know you got ‘em - so cough ‘em up. What do you have bookmarked for free/shareware font sites? (no, this isn’t “script related”, but since I make the rules, I can break them) ;-)
Abstract Fonts [found via a stolen moment]
Chank
1001 Free fonts
Larabie fonts
Font Freak

(Warning: some of these font sites love pop up ads… surf at your own annoyance)

Many of those have the same fonts… would love any links you have to more “original” fonts…
