Every once in a while you need a really interesting font for a players' hand-out. My personal choice for sci-fi and fantasy fonts is the Dafont website - especially good if you want a look of a specific film title. Many of the fonts are free, but be sure to read any license details before using in a publication. Generally most of the designers are happy being credited or just notified. Naturally, reselling the fonts is verbotten.It's a very straight-forward site with downloadable fonts for Windows and Mac. You can search by theme or name. Two useful categories for gamers are Sci-Fi and Medieval. Many of the more dramatic fonts are superb for use in titles, but not to be recommended in main document text - but experimentation may be the key here. The only problem is having to choose which fonts you prefer. ;)
