fonts

I downloaded some font pack with over 9000 fonts. Don't wanna install all of them, any recommendations as to what fonts are a must have, maybe a site with some kind of font toplist or whatever?

PS: I intend to use the fonts with Opera.

If it's a massive font pack it's probably filled with nothing but free crap.  Download torrents with fonts from specific foundries and you'll be fine.

As for fonts you want:
* Helvetica
* Times
* Univers

That's about it.

sans: Verdana or Arial
serif: Code 2000 or Garamond or Times New Roman
monospace: Lucida Console

Terminal
FixedSys
Lucida Console (otherwise Windows XP will crash when it crashes because it can't find the font)
MS Mincho

That's it.

I went through a bunch of font collections the other day and I came up with the following as fonts I actually use often in various contexts:

LeMonde Livre
Adobe Jenson Pro
Myriad Pro
VAGRounded BT
Warnock Pro

Though really all you need for general web\wordprocessing work is Helvetica, Georgia and (my favourite serif Mac font) Hoefler Text.

Lucida Console (otherwise Windows XP will crash when it crashes because it can't find the font)

I lol'd

Get stuff that's from an actual commercial foundry (Adobe, Linotype,...). As far as free fonts go, except for pros who give them away (Larabie,...) they are consistently shit.

Fixedsys sucks sure it looks traditional and it's small, but it doesn't support Unicode, it's not antialiased, and it's NOT SCALABLE, which means that it's a BITMAP FONT.

Did you say Apple? Do you have $5000?

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try to look into it.
