Where is a good place to buy fonts?

[InlineFive]

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a few customized fonts but it seems like there are quite a few no-name places on the internet to buy these.

What companies do you use or have had experience with?

Thanks!

myfonts.com has a nice guidance system to finding a certain style - and will also let you upload examples and will try to come close to matching your image.

As an incredibly wide generalization, free fonts are bad for anything more than the most basic (your own laser printer) publications.

Wonderful, thanks you guys! One more question, why are there seperate PostScript fonts for both Windows and Mac? Isn't PostScript supposed to be a "standard"?
