What fonts are your favourites

I am always searching through my vast list of fonts but I can never find fonts I like.

Firstly, what are your favourite fonts for graphic design?

Secondly, where could I get these for free?

Thanks

Go to www.1001fonts.com. I get a lot from there.

I didn't like that site because you can't search by catagory. (Unless I just didn't see how)

Any specific fonts you would reccomend getting

It really depends on what you want it for. I usually wait till I need a font for something then pick one that matches what I need it for.

Just general graphic design, I want a range of fonts at my disposal

The last font I'm wasting on you.

Yes, it's a real font.

As you can tell, I'm a fan of Evanescence.... But it has nothing to do with that fact. I think it's really cool. All of them, I mean.

Personally, I've always liked Century for headings and simple titles. I don't know if it's free, but I seem to remember having it on one of those CD with 6.2 million fonts on it.

And for some reason I always find myself using Verdana. Guess it's just my site's feel.

And just a thought, I can see finding a font or two and thinking, "Hey that's cool, think I'll hold on to it".
But does anyone really find having 2 and 3 thousand fonts really necessary?

Here are free fonts on http://www.dafont.com/ by category.
But i like simple fonts.

Way to unearth a 5 year-old thread, dude.
