UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Design, Style and Graphics I need some cool fonts!

Can someone direct me to some cool fonts that I might download? I am tired of my crappy default ones. I need some cool ones so I may make some good images.

i tend to think that fonts don't make the image good, people make the image good. i have been, however, wanting to upload my collection of fonts somewhere. i have the space to do so, but the problem is that they're about 20mb, zipped, and i'm on a 56k dialup connection. we'll see...

just upload it overnight, 20mb upload will actually only take about 2 and a half hours max. i remeber you saying this before, but, it was only 10 megs back then

i found my whole collection. actually, most fonts i use are from adobe fontfolio, but i can't distribute those.

uploading the fonts would totally be appreciated

imo, fonts are one of the most important part of graphics...i mean, if its a bad font, it sorta ruins the whole effect of the graphics...

but if the font is very crafty (heh) and suitable for the type of banner youre making (like if youre making a punk rock kinda banner, a jaggid font would be perfect)...

but im totally in need of fonts, and i got 20MB to spare on my HD

..::|-Peace-|::..

20 mb? lol! I got a collection of 860 mb of fonts, no kidding and no duplicates!

I collected them from all kind of sites and programs the last few years =)

If you wanna take a look matt, I can help you with some pro fonts

I had to reinstall windows (stupid f***ing litestep program) I lost all of my fonts, plugins, and programs (learn a valuable lesson that day, You need to back-up your system every once in a while or not d/l programs ) If you would upload yours I would be eternally greatful

Matt you could always WinRar or WinAce your fonts then upload them when you have free time

Actually, I've always found that http://www.fontfreak.com has pretty much all the font's you'll need. They have over 1000 I think

uh, morph, fontfolio has about 2800 fonts in it, spanning two cds. that's almost 1300mb of fonts. the 20 megs i have is only the stuff i've downloaded!

wildcat: they already are zipped.

matt : i think wildcat meant you could use winrar or winace to split them up, into say 20 different 1 mb files, and then upload them 1 by 1

hey maybe you could help me.. I was installing a font using something called BoxFonts i installed one and then opened up adobe photoshop and my 200+ fonts werent there only 10 were and they werent even in the fonts direc.... HELPPPPPP

I have never used 'BoxFonts' but, most font programs have like, profiles that you can select, say, the 'modern' profile loads up all your modern looking fonts and the rest get taken out of the fonts directory to another directory, so, check around for profiles or anything like it.

can you give me an url from which to download 'BoxFonts' and I could have a little look around and possibly help ya some more?

Well that was really weird.. it has these button that say Windows Fonts(Default) anotherwards the windows directory and i hit that and it had like 10 fonts but when i went into ecplorer there were 300 so i was like im just gonna try and restart the computer and all of a sudden all betta .Do you still want the link tho?

hehe that is what I ment

wildcat : thought so.

Same damn thing happened to me with litestep about two weeks ago! I had to reinstall Windows and I lost EVERYTHING! Now I make sure to back up my hard drive atleast once a week.

Thanks for the fontfreak link, FAT BOY.

I make regular backups of the following, and man does it come in handy:

> ~8.5 gigs of mp3z (all legal of course )
> all my pictures
> my favourites
> my fonts
> site ftp info, email account ifno etc etc
> any website designs i have done or am working on

in all, i have about 15 gigs of stuff backed up, just under 30 cds full.

Yeah it changes your windows shell it doesn't have a uninstall so I thought the add/remove programs would put my shell back to the way it was but NO lol

You all should use WINSTEP great Shell!

it looked pretty cool but I learned my lesson I am never getting another program that changes anything of the windows shell I damn near had a heart attack when the little error message told me can not find such&such part of windows shell you must reinstall windows It did do one thing though it speed up my computer with out all of the use-less stuff i had on there now I just need to get my fonts and plug ins back

ah, Matt uploading your fonts would be much appreciated. I need some proffessional looking ones.

Try these sites for free & royalty free fonts:

Enjoy

Larabie fonts! I have missed them .. That was my fav site but then they moved servers and I could never find them but ahh well YEAHHH you directed me to their new place sorry im acting gay ...

Yea that makes total sense.. I wouldnt mess around afta something like that .. wouldnt want all my precious ubb stuff to disappear

Really? neat I've only collected the useable fonts, but I think I'll be doing a quickcheck at all these sites once more to check for new ones =)
