Century Schoolbook L

OK. Here's another free
font.

This one is truly free, I
believe.

This one is called Century
Schoolbook L and comes with
my Linux Debian distribution.

For this reason alone, I suspect
it is really and truly free.

I like this font. It is slightly
serifed but not excessively so.

Just enough to make it readable.

Yet, it appears reasonably light
to my eye.

Also, it is clear clear clear. You
know exactly what letters you are
deciphering and don't have to puzzle
over them for even a millisecond.

Anytime you have to figure a font
out, even for a millisecond, you are
in trouble.

232MKSD Ultra-Light

OK. Here's another font.

This one is clean, light and
clean. It is called 232MKSD
Ultra-Light.

It is my understanding that
font is licensed and is
considered free in some sense.

However, you really should do
your own research on this.

I'm not always sure under what
circumstances a font is free and
under what circumstances it is not
free.

Rudelsberg

OK. Here's one of my favorite
free fonts.

The name of the font is Rudelsberg.
Great sounding name, huh?

This font is free is some sense.
That is to say, it is, at minimum,
free for non-commercial use.

For commercial use, a donation may
be required. You do the research.
I'm can't ever seem to get good
information on free versus sort-of
free.

Adine Kirnberg

OK. Here's a font called
Adine Kirnberg Script:

This is a font that is free
in some sense. That is to say,
it is free for non-commercial
purposes at minimum.

I can't seem to find good information
on fonts in this regard. Whenever I
download a font, the licensing information
seems to not be there.

Not sure what to do about this.

In any case, the font can be found by
searching Adine Kirnberg using
a search engine.

The creator of the font seems to be someone
named David Rakowski.

Here's his website

David Rakowski website

Here's information about fonts from the same
website:

David Rakowski fonts

Apparently, David Rakowski's fonts that he
did early on were shareware fonts. I guess
that means you make a donation if you use
the font commercially. I think that's what
it means.

Later, he did some fonts that are sold at
other websites.

Again, he describes how you might go about
buying these fonts here:

Free Font LInks

OK. This is a new blog.

I'll list some free font links
here.

Here's a good description of font
sites:

FreeSite.com Fonts

Here's a site that only contains
fonts that are free for both commercial
and non-commercial use. At least, that's
how I understand it:

1001FreeFonts.com

Actually, this is a frustration of mine. I
can't seem to find a reasonable way to find
out whether or not a font is free for
commercial use.

Can you use the font to advertise yourself?

That's always my question.

It's really hard to find out.
