Wenn es ein Thema gibt, aufgrund dessen meine kleine Website immer noch jede Menge Besucher anzieht, so sind es die Auflistungen und Portraits kostenloser Schriften, die ich im Wesentlichen zwischen 2004 und 2006 veröffentlicht habe, inklusive einige Nachzügler in späteren Jahren.
Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X, OS/2 and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout.

TYPE DESIGN, TYPOGRAPHY, TYPEFACES AND FONTS
These pages offer over 70,000 entries with information on type design, type designers, the history and choice of fonts and typefaces, the mathematics of type design, font software, and typographic matters in general. The subjects are cross-classified by country, language, tag, style, and category. Each item also has a dedicated subpage with additional images not shown on the main pages [click on pink dots like ⦿]. I started this work in 1993.
