Well, I suppose that's fine. But, are you sure this free font from the free fonts site is actually free? I recall many of these sites ignored the distribution portion of the various fonts' licenses...

Another thought is that these free fonts are usually poorly designed (sure, they might look nice), resulting in bad or zero spread/kerning control and bad character spacing. Of course then there's the whole limited character set issue that most of these fonts pose, and their sloppy creation usually creates problems in PS production.

IMO (and I don't think I'm alone here), it's best to use professionally created licensed fonts.
