When you design your site, blog theme or sales page you would like some of your text, to stand out. For example, you might want an eye catching logo or some cool text on your buttons. Now, you could go ahead and fire up Photoshop, and do some really fancy stuff with filters and such. However, that could take sometime and can be very frustrating, after a while.
A much easier way, to accomplish an eye catching logo or button, is to find a cool font and go with that, instead of making a Photoshop masterpiece. One of my favorite sites, to find cool fonts is dafont.com.
dafont.com is fast and easy to navigate, and they have all the font categories on the main page. Here you will find fonts in categories like, Fancy, Foreign look, Techno, Gothic, Bitmaps and others. Off course, there is also a search function, that you can use if you already know the name of the font your looking for.
One nifty feature that dafont.com has, is that instead of just see some standard preview of the font, you can get a custom preview, of the font. Just type the text you would want to see, together with the size and all fonts will be showed with your text. A very useful function, that will save you time! Here is an example,
If you register you can comment and give reviews of the fonts, however you can read all comments, without registering.
dafont.com also has a top list, with the most popular fonts, together with a section of various font tools, that can come in handy. Their FAQ section is very good and covers everything you need to know, to install new fonts on your system.
All fonts on dafont.com is not freeware, however most of them are and each font’s license are displayed over the download link. Also, dafont.com gives you a link to the font author’s website, so you can easily contact him or her, if you have any questions about the font you want to use.
