Why? What is wrong with using ones that are widely supported instead of a custom font that people will have to download extra? – Mitch Dempsey Sep 28 '10 at 04:12

2@webdestroya welcome to 2010. @vinny see fontsquirrel.com, or the [Goggle font repository](http://code.google.com/webfonts). – Pointy Sep 28 '10 at 04:15

Goddamnit people if you want to close a question, *post a comment explaining why*. Newbies asking questions can't be expected to understand why some people don't like them simply because they've been closed. – Pointy Sep 28 '10 at 04:16

@Pointy Fontsquirrel curates free, but not F/OS fonts. The League of Moveable Type is another one. – Yi Jiang Sep 28 '10 at 04:17

@Yi Jiang no, some of the Fontsquirrel fonts are open source - you have to check their licensing information. – Pointy Sep 28 '10 at 04:18

2Well, fair enough. @vinny Stack Overflow is for programming questions, and this is very obviously not under the scope of this site. The [ **faq** ](http://stackoverflow.com/faq)explains very clearly what can be asked and what can't. Questions like this might be better suited for doctype.com instead. – Yi Jiang Sep 28 '10 at 04:20

2Yes doctype is a good place to post the question, but honestly this is a question that Google would answer pretty competently in about 0.2 seconds. – Pointy Sep 28 '10 at 04:22

@Pointy Amaaaazing. Never knew about this. – vinny Sep 28 '10 at 04:24

1Ok sorry everyone. I thought whatever is related to webdesign can be asked. Will try to be careful the next time. – vinny Sep 28 '10 at 04:27

Vinny, web developers/designers have their own stack site here now: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/ – Gordon Bell Sep 28 '10 at 04:44
