Today I was searching for some good fonts for my desktop running Fedora 11 – Leonidas. In my quest to find the required fonts that I would liked, I reached some good sites so just thought would share the same with you.

First, how do you use them, simple steps:

mkdir ~/.fonts

Now you can put your fonts in this directory. You can make sub-directories to keep your fonts organized. On F11, I did not need to refresh the font server or logout and login. 🙂

Now the sites:

1. Selectively download the font from the list of nearly 6800 fonts from <a href="http://grsites.com/fonts/" target="_blank">here.

2. Download archieve of more than 6700 fonts from <a href="http://thelinuxbox.org/downloads/fonts/fonts.tar.gz" target="_blank">here.

3. You can head over <a href="http://thelinuxbox.org" target="_blank">here to get few more interesting fonts.
