I'm using The Gimp to create backgrounds, with a layer acting as a CD

are great art (I'm a very non-visual person normally, not at all
artistic) but they work. Mainly using captured images from the source
material and manipulating them. I could do with some more fonts,
though, where does one find Windows fonts?

I think there's a lot on that Internet thingie :-)

The problem is that they seem to be 'classified' alphabetically, there's
no search for "I want something which looks like clear handwriting".

Or get the local computer whizz-kid who's installed EVERYTHING on his
machine to burn you a CD of his Fonts folder.

I don't know any. All the people I know are either geeks who only load
the stuff they need or people who play games...

Make sure all those fancy fonts are INCREASING legibility, won't you

Email me confirming you want a bunch of 342 fonts, and I'll reply with a
compressed attachment (43MB).

If an email attachment of that size is unacceptable, let me know and
I'll post it on the alt.binaries.fonts newsgroup and let you know (by
email) the filename.

Well, you've got to make a BIT of effort! Look at them and see what
they are. Just like I had to :-)

Here's a few script type fonts.

Any use to you, the fonts I posted?

Chris is a complete lamer. In response to an e-mail from him I attached
a zipped bundle of fonts to an e-mail - they were rejected because his
e-mail account doesn't accept attachments. I then offered to put the
font bundle on a binary newsgroup - but then he tells me that his
newsgroup account support binaries. The real laugh is that he professes
to be a programmer... LOL.

That should read 'but then he tells me his newsgroup account does NOT
support binaries.'

All has gone quiet now.... LOL

Anyone with a clue would have put the zipped file on a web server and
sent the URL to the person, especially as the 'sender' seems to have
at least one web server available.

No who was calling who a complete lamer ?....

Carry on :-)
