Re: [libreoffice-users] Does Libre Office have its own distinctsetoffonts?

One of my favorite free fonts is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy from 
http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/. It comes in both TrueType and 
OpenType formats. I've found I prefer the TrueType as it displays better on 
my screen. Both print very nicely.

There are other free fonts at the website that you might enjoy.

One thing I learned the hard way is that free font files sometimes come 
complete with viruses, so I would be fairly careful about obtaining free 
fonts online.

      I guess it'd be asking too much for you to share your script-fonts
with me  ;-)

      I've been missing them so ... ... ...
          you could DropBox them - http://db.tt/QBTMH08Z
