This web page will try to assemble the free fonts posted in the newsgroup alt.binaries.fonts by the person who created the font, or, possibly, in behalf of that person. The web page will also include the message that accompanies the posting, even if blank, to document the font and its creator. Any other relevant newsgroup messages will also be included.
This web site apologizes for not using traditional links in the font menu. Javascript links were used to make it a bit harder for programs to leech the site, which defeats the purpose of this site. If someone wants to get the fonts, that someone has to personally go to the site and click on each link, and, hopefully, learn something about the person who created the font and/or the background of the font.
We appreciate your linking to this site. However, we request that the link should be made to the home page, http://abfonts.freehostia.com. Direct linking to other web pages on this site is not allowed. Direct access to the site's inner pages is redirected to the home page.
