\$\begingroup\$ https://fontlibrary.org has a lot of open source fonts. You might be able to use some of those, depending on licensing and the opinions of lawyers. :P \$\endgroup\$ – Cypher Apr 11 '16 at 21:53

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.

If you're building a web game, Google has provided free fonts here: https://www.google.com/fonts 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.

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

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):

\$\begingroup\$ Can those fonts be used in non XNA games? The site is not clear about it. \$\endgroup\$ – Hatoru Hansou Jan 26 '16 at 18:21

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