Where can I find fonts (preferably free, but a reasonable fee is acceptable) that I can use in my for-pay/commericial game?

You can find many free and cheap fonts on MyFonts.com, including the Larabie Font Collection (many of which are free for commercial use) |

Two good places to find free fonts are Font Squirrel and The League of Moveable Type. |

I always head to dafont.com, although the range is similar to Font Squirrel and MyFonts. |

If you're building a web game, Google has provided free fonts here: http://code.google.com/webfonts This is a great service for web developers, because web licenses for fonts can be a gray area. They have only a small fraction of the fonts you can find on sites like others have suggested, however. |

The League of Movable Type has a few fonts for free use, under a very permissive license. |

As far as I can tell these XNA fonts from Microsoft are free to use (released under the MS-PL): |

Fonts from Canada Type have a reasonable license, and I plan on using at least one of theirs in my next iPhone game. |

We have font tiles available to buy for a small fee: http://www.indiegamedesigner.com/product-category/all-graphics/font-tiles/ Might be useful to some of you. |
