Introduction
The following list should provide an overview of free and non-free fonts known to behave well on screen and/or in print. Anyone is invited to add his favourite fonts and comment on his experience with them. If you don't feel like playing with the table entries, just hit the Discussion tab and describe your fonts in plain text, and other users will insert an table row for you, then.
The table columns and their meaning:
- Font Repository -- Source of fonts and link if applicable
- Fonts -- List of included font families and/or faces
- Known issues? -- Any problems that may occur. Most fonts with any known problems should simply be avoided, but sometimes there are valid reasons to use them anyway - so long as you know there may be consequences.
- Coverage -- Notes about the fonts' glyph coverage and, if known, encoding.
- Licensing -- Extremely brief licensing/availability/conditions and licensing link where possible. E.g. "free," "free for non-commercial use," "commercial"
- Comments -- Any additional information you consider important
