**[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]“The typographer shouldn’t care too much what kind of fonts he has at his disposal. Actually the choice of fonts shouldn’t be his major concern. He should use what is available at the time and use it the best he can.”[/COLOR]

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I have inherited several hundred fonts from various employees and free font web sites. Many of these fonts are created for Halloween, Rock bands or other various language characters. I recently was at SXSW where I attened two very interesting panels on Typography.
I was wondering what some of my fellow kirupians favorite fonts for the web are. I plan on clearing out my entire font folder and starting from scratch. Please let me know what you think the defeniative fonts for the web shoule be.
