- digg it
- gometro33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3use DownThemAll (FF extension) to get them all quickly and easily
- charlesmister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thanks for the tip about downthemall even if it does cause bandwidth problems!
- schwit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Too many installed fonts in Windows will slow down your system.
- xodex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0How about too many installed fonts for a Linux os would it slow down your system?
- dizzledaking, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@schwit
absolutely correct - l124rd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I already have 5400 Fonts... my computer only runs slow when I start GIMP. We'll see what happens after I download these ~_^
- DonWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would imagine installing 6500 fonts on one machine would slow any operating system down.
- linus7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0First time I clicked the link...got an error page. Tried again and worked...hmmm
- sudoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0don't underestimate the power of classic fonts. they come with your computer for a reason. many of these fonts aren't that readable. they're mostly good if you want to design an indie poster or flier for something.
- treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cheers... I used to use http://www.1001freefonts.com
None of these sites seem to offer a single download to download all the fonts at once. - dudup, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Would be nice to have a .zip containing all of them...
- soapycub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who installs every single font they own anyway? -- haven't you heard of font managers?
- madcat87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have 4962 fonts in my linux box.It is not slow.
- jk_baller23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0site doesn't seem to work for me :(
www.1001fonts.com and www.dafont.com/en/ are two of my favorite font sites.
I do wish you could download them all at once, but then again, why would you want that. I am sure you don't want every single font you download. I don't need Windows to be any slower as it is, lol. - MattZed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah i think its down :(
- short_man, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Service Unavailable. no digg.
- horar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would really like to find just one good unicode font.
- ryouko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.mininova.org/tor/74682
4K of them.... - kmelwing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Jesus Christ. Looks like most of them came for Acid Fonts. I approve though.
- strikezero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Site Unavail no digg
- esac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I simply want a nice monospaced font which has a 0 with a slash through it to distinguish it from an O. As well, I want a lowercase 'a' (sort of like the first 'a' on the list of free fonts). If anybody can point me to something like that, I could die a happy man.
- rowanjl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You know people, its very rude to use extensions like DownThemAll. Whoever owns the server wouldn't provide a complete package of all the fonts simply because they can't afford that kind of bandwidth, so by downloading everything you've effectively helped them go over their bandwidth.
Nice work guys...
I'm a fan of www.dafont.com(/en)... - Shova, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't want to be mean, but if you offer 6500 fonts for download you have to expect many will want to download all of them just for the heck of it.
Me? I use maybe 2 fonts.. Times New Roman and what was that other o ne? - lowtrak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I recommend using ATM or Suitcase instead of loading all the fonts into Windows directly. They work well without slowing Windows.
- andrebsd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"You know people, its very rude to use extensions like DownThemAll.

If you can't afford the bandwidth costs, then you really should not be serving up files from your website; or rather you should not have a website at all because once it gets linked to lets say digg.com, your server is going to get raped anyway. My servers sometimes get to much traffic and use to much bandwidth; but thats part of running a website. - If the person is really concerned, then he/she should set a bandwidth limit and have the website automatically shutdown. - Dynamoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty much the same as http://www.fontadelic.com/fonts.php?letter=a&start=1
This is just a trick by an SEO site to get traffic and link authority. I don't think it's anything to do with the story submitter though, but basically the whole thing is just a cheap lash-up. - ThankTheCheese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think that site's horribly bad design is a good example of why some people shouldn't have 6500 fonts on their system.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0You know, there is a *reason* that the FAQ ( http://www.digg.com/faq ) states that Digg is a technology news website. I'm not exactly positive on this one, but I'm fairly certain that it is because DIGG IS A TECHNOLOGY NEWS WEBSITE. Please, people, stick to the news and help keep Digg clean!
Report++! - Riggs54, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Masterzora,
your a big looser. - Pooavenger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1seriously though. it's really insane that a lot of ***** gets on the front page. this site is declining slowly. it's sad. They really need to re-format this site. Like having stories approved before they make it. I know it would take forever but a lot of this is complete BS.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@pooavenger:
I agree for the most part, but two things I have to comment on:
A) It's declining very rapidly, not really slowly
B) They'll never force stories to be approved because that's exactly what they're trying to get away from.
Digg: Great in concept, but proof that you should never leave a system entirely in the hands of the masses. - Stormen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You're wankers. Digg is -da bomb-. I love the variety of stuff here; and even though I mostly enjoy the pure tech-stuff, it won't kill you to read about other stuff every once in a while. So stop yer f*ck'n whining.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@stormen:
You're absolutely correct; It won't kill us to read non-tech and/or non-news once in a while. However, it occurs a LOT more than once in a while, to the point where there's more of it than tech news. - dig.it, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Manage'em for free without overload your memory.
It's a dupe but this guy have received only few diggs.
http://software.fonthit.com/ - Vertr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Not news, no digg.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0@vertr:
You should go that extra step and report it! - ForbesBingley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've always found it strangely amusing why there should be so many fonts for Windows when the vast majority of design work occurs on Macs.
Odd... - jj555298, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I would hate to see someone install too many of those...
- ptknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It doesnt have Interstate font :-(
- qball15j, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That site has been in my web design resource bookmarks for a while, great resource!
+Digg - automagically, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good link. I bought one of those font cd's at Best Buy once, maybe it was Staples, I dunno. Anyways about half of them were unusable, they would turn like 35 degrees to the right, and I really don't think they were supposed to look that way. It wasn't the italicized versions either. In other words, be wary when buying font cds, especially when you can get them for free on websites such as this. Also be sure to get a font manager, there are free ones, no point in having thousands installed at once. They make browsing and choosing a font easier too, than some drop down list in the program you're using.
- billmarrs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm getting "Service Unavailable" for the link at the moment. :-(
- zodieman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Friends don't let friends use TrueType. Real designers use OpenType :)
Oh sorry about you Postscript guys, times they are a changin'
(I'm an InDesign trainer) - duder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Times New Roman and Courier New get the job done just fine.
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We can download MALLs now? OMG!
- bmw@, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0But can you use them with AJAX?
:-) - BullMann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am getting 'Service Unavailable Page'
- Decimal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone already mentioned the free FontHit for windows, but for Mac users (who don't like Font Book), there is Linotype's FontExplorer X:
http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX - etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Where are the pixel fonts?!
- holdemcharts, on 10/12/2007, -1/+00 Free True Type Fonts! No Digg
- bunzai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0digg effect...
