ell, it's been a good run but the fifth installment of Free Fonts That Don't Suck will be the final one—I've decided to cast a wider typographic net. To a certain extent this has been thrust upon me, since there are simply fewer good free fonts being released. We can thank the mega-font sites, such as MyFonts.com and Fonts.com, for this, having grown to the point where they're now the main sales platforms for many independent font creators. If those sites can find customers for just about anything, as seems to be the case, then the incentive for releasing free fonts disappears.
