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 :)

Thank YOU very much

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!

Thank YOU very much for taking the time to write that. I'm sincerely glad that the fonts and InTime are proving so useful to you.

Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch!!. Great selection.

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.

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?

Thanks very much for all the kind words. I'm glad this installment of Free for All was so useful to you!

Based on requests in these har comments, ah'll get my prize bloodhound and git right ta trackin' down the followin' types of varmints for future Free for Alls. No guarantees, 'course, but me an' the bloodhound, we'll do our best. Keep the requests comin'!

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.

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.

Guest asked: "My favorites are picture fonts - worth an article in themselves?"
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!

A plethora of FREE border effects (for photos or clipart) would be nice.

Thanks for the fonts, you can never have enough.

Hi, I am looking for a certain font. It is a small, slanted type of handwriting.
Thx, MamaMia

As requested how about some real good textures, edges, frames etc.

Love your work.

Very eclectic group!
I couldn't find the place in the article or on our site on how to download the cool collection. Help!

free-for all icons would be great

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.
