I was going to make thrend but I did a search on the forums and decided I would just add to calecars "how to" guide.

I recently came across this website and I found it good for finding free fonts.

Note: Fonts slow down you computer. I don't recommend installing abundance of these.

+Plus Pm your font links for download.

You can extract them directly to your fonts folder instead of having to copy and paste it/drag it to the folder.
It doesn't really make a difference either way though.. Just a couple clicks.

All I do is open my fonts folder and extract to the folder, same as Dom.
