Open Source Fonts for AI?

Hi!

I am looking for resources on the web that would allow me to download and import a particular font into Illustrator, for free.

Any suggestions?

Think free, open-source fonts for Illustrator, like Google Fonts for the web, but to be used in print assets instead of on the web.

Thanks! Daniel

I personally use 1001fonts.com, 1001freefonts.com, and dafont.com when I am creating print assets. Nothing I've done in this manner has ever been put up for sale, but most of those sites provide you with a license (even if it is attribution)

Font Squirrel is another site that you can download many types of fonts and install them on your machine for use inside AI and PSD.
