Fonts.com web fonts
The time has finally come to throw Arial and Verdana into the trash (Helvetica can stay for a while), as Monotype, Linotype and ITC (and others) have teamed up to develop a really cool service - web fonts!
webfonts.fonts.com lets you use over 7,500 fonts on your sites. The result isn’t images, but markable, search engine friendly text.
To get started, visit webfonts.fonts.com and register as a user. You’ll then be able to create projects, to which you can add custom fonts. After that, you can bind the fonts to your CSS elements, classes and id:s and paste the generated JavaScript into your site’s source code.
Web fonts is free up to a certain amount of page hits, but the free account will not give you access to all fonts. Still, 1.500 fonts is a great service, so make sure to try it out!
