Font Recommendations

Posted on June 25th, 2007, by Meggin McIntosh

Question:

Hi Meggin:

Would you care to recommend particular places to buy fonts, and what do you think makes a “good” font?

Here are the two places where I buy most of my fonts:

http://www.fonts.com/ &
http://www.myfonts.com/

They have huge varieties of different fonts with a range of prices–so you might get a snazzy font for as little as $15 or you can pay lots more than that.

One suggestion: Whenever you purchase a new font and are going to use it in a presentation, be sure to save it to your laptop also. Or, if you are sending something as an attachment and using a purchased font, be sure to send the document as a PDF. Otherwise, the person opening the document won’t be able to see what you were sending in the format you intended. I’ve learned this the hard way, I’m sorry to say.
