The above fonts indicated with an asterisk are part of a family of fonts, these can be normal, bold, italic or varieties such as serif and sans serif.
There are literally thousands of sites on the web that have downloadable free fonts available. Some are heavy with ads, so its handy to have an ad blocker installed on your PC when downloading. The best way to search is via Google, I prefer to go to the following sites - as I know they are trustworthy and the webmasters ensure that all fonts available are free to use, and not stolen.
If you find a valuable font site that you would like to share, please feel free to contact me for it's inclusion on these pages.
