J, There are literally tens of thousands of fonts to choose from. But some are better at certain tasks than others. So, if you can tell us what kinds of fonts you are looking for what specific purposes -- book text, editorial or newspaper, email, faxing, etc., in what point sizes and reproduction methods, that would help. I would not print them at any coarser than 600 dpi on a laser -- 1200 dpi would be sharper, look better and be more readable. For offset reproduction from electronic files, this is not an issue. Generally choose conservative fonts from major, established foundries, such as Adobe, Monotype, Linotype, etc. for most purposes. Decorative, typewriter, swash, script and oddball fonts, plus italic, boldface, condensed, script, and typewriter fonts are poor choices for general text. Use them lightly and wisely. OK, that's a start -- but please get back to us with more detail on how these fonts are too be used. Neil
