Yes Rose, Glenn has a remarkable list and it is where I have gotten many of
my fonts.
Another note about The Font Thing: if you are viewing a font in it, with PSP
open, you will find that font in the drop down menu just as if you had
opened and minimized it! As you can tell, I am a fan of TFT. It's free, too!

I would suggest you join the list that sends fonts just about every week.
It is Glenn's List.
Here is the address:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fontpacks/
It is a great list.... you get tons of fonts........ and they are all great!
Glenn will send an email once a week to give you a link to download the
fonts. So it is not a very high volume list at all. I think there have
been 35 or so emails sent this YEAR!
He does a great job finding fonts for us. Tell him I sent you... :)
One can never have too many fonts...haha!
Hugs,
Rose
