free quality fonts

[lil_art]

No icons this time, but something to save my own sanity - after having spent weeks and weeks of searching for free and good quality fonts I've finally managed to sort through the huge pile I downloaded while working on some projects and decided to throw the remaining ones together into a post here, as a reference and with links to where to download

It's been ages ago when I used and downloaded fonts. Great bunch, but not using lol. I barely work with text anyway. I do hope you will make some icons soon instead ;)

Yeah yeah, some icons will or will not pop up very soon ;) And no, I'm not exactly big on using text in icons either - I use it more often for print or other layout stuff, and I really dislike scrolling through the whole never-ending font list in my editing software, so I wanted the good ones all in one place for easier access :P

Great idea! I have over 2000 fonts already installed, but you can never have too many.

Now I have moved computers and am still trying to figure out how to transfer NexusFont's settings - I need my tags and groups! 2000 unsorted fonts are no fun.

2000 fonts, wow! I have about ~450 right now plus the windows/application fonts, which are about the same amount, but I still feel it's far too many. :P

I also use NexusFont and there is a way to transfer your settings, I did this to copy everything from my computer to my laptop recently, so it may work for you, too:
[lengthy explanation under the cut]

-- How to "backup" custom groups and tags in NexusFont --

In the program's main installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\NexusFont) there should be a subfolder called userdata, with the following two files:

library.xml contains the group settings.
tags.list contains the custom tags.

-- You can confirm that these are the files you need by opening them with a text editor; you should recognize the names of your custom groups, respectively tags, in there, along with some coding and/or file paths. If not, the files may be in your user folder instead (under C:\User\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Nexusfont). --

Simply copy/paste these two files from your old installation onto your new system, into the same userdata folder

Thanks so much for going to the trouble of explaining.

I thought I had done everything, but I a) overlooked that it didn't write the two files to AppData unless I created a set myself and b) didn't have that subfolders thing checked.

You helped immensely, and I am very glad to have my sets back.

Now for installing more fonts! I seem to have only a subset of those you've posted. Thanks again!

Wahnsinn!

Wenn ich wieder an meinem PC arbeite, muss ich mir da unbedingt mal die eine oder andere von downloaden.

Danke für Teilen!
