I would like to see an updated free calendar maker script for Adobe InDesign CS4. I used to have one for CS3 and I don't think the old script now works with CS4.
Thanks for the selection. I only downloaded seven of them, but I got what worked for me (hopefully).
I think some of these guys are nuts to give away this stuff. I liked the Gentium and hope to work that into some reprint projects I plan on.
Cool beans.

I use many fonts and confess to being a fontaholic...lol I make award images for my members at the Attic and like to use differnt fonts and Photoshop brushes so please keep them coming.
You are never alone,
I am there to comfort and guide you...
Always.
I'd like to see fonts like P22 that looks much like our forefathers used. A clean handwriting with class and dignity. Something that is artsty and not over used. I like Cezanne but it is over used.
I LOVE these installments!!! I don't any 12-step program would help me when it comes to FONTS (ack), but I don't care! Thank you for supporting my addiction, you're AWESOME!

Not a bad idea! I'll get right on the trail to sniff out some great, free pictographic and dingbat fonts. Watch for them in future Free for Alls!

Guest said: "Could not get ecofont to work though." Really? What happens? There's an FAQ and contact page on the Ecofont site (http://www.ecofont.eu/ecofont_en.html). You might want to let them know what trouble you're having.

Sam Gray: I'll see what I can do about tracking down more classy handwriting fonts. Have you tried Zapfino Linotype One? It's not free, but it's gorgeous; of course, like Cezanne, it's becoming overused.

Another guest asked for free clip art for Illustrator and brushes for Photoshop. I'll definitely include more in the future, but I've also provided quite a few in past installments of Free for All and in the two articles that spawned Free for All, "Ten Free Online Tools Every Designer Should Know" and "Ten (More!) Free Online Tools for Designers." You can catch up with all of them from my CreativePro.com author page: http://www.creativepro.com/articles/author/127495

MamaMia: Give http://WhatTheFont.com and http://www.identifont.com/identify.html a try. You might be able to find the name of the font (and a place to get it) you're looking for there.

Got Just Old Fashion to drag over to the font book but 4 of the others I chose would not installl into the font book on my mac. Can you help? also can anyone tell me where I can fing the font, Shinn?
It's very difficult for an old printer to pass up any offering of fonts on display. When they are available free, that adds to the allure. But this collection goes far beyond the usual interest because so many are very finely drawn. Wow! Thank you for the collection.

I just wanted to say thank you very much.
I know hoe tedious it can be attimes to dig through the net for usables.
I appreciate the effort you put in and will be returning to this site & your column over and over.
I've always been wary of free fonts, and haven't used them much/never. All my print work is printed commercially with offset presses. How do these work with exporting PDX1a compliant files? Is there something to look for when finding free fonts to ensure they'll work? I recall working with macs way back when, and we were told even to avoid all true-type fonts in order to get a good postscript file. I'm now working on a pc in CS4. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for all these fonts! I stumbled onto your site in my search for Arno Pro... I used to have it in CS4, but it disappeared when I reinstalled my computer... It would help me a lot since I used this font frequently! Thanks :)
Nice
Nice to have so many to choose from. Thanks for gathering all of these up. Not sure how many I'll use, but good to have anyways!
Free Stuff
I would like to see an updated free calendar maker script for Adobe InDesign CS4. I used to have one for CS3 and I don't think the old script now works with CS4.
Where do I download the free fonts?
I do not see anywhere on the page to be able to download the fonts you show. Can you help me?
