Free Fonts
Font Squirrel: http://www.fontsquirrel.com
Font Squirrel searches the web for free for commercial use fonts and compiles them for you. This is one of my favorite resources for free fonts.
Google Fonts: http://www.google.com/fonts/
Google Fonts offers more than 600 open source font families that you can use for branding and on your website.
Dafont: http://www.dafont.com
Dafont offers more than 20,000 free fonts. To find the ones you can use in commercial projects, first click on the category of font you’re interested in finding. Then in the area of the site where you can preview the fonts, look for a link to “more options” there you can check a box for “public domain” fonts. You’ll still want to check the font’s Read-Me files to verify license.
