This is a directory of font sites and font resources. Many of the links listed here offer free fonts or font samples and others require purchase. I am a graphic artist - among other things - and I generally pick fonts that are "technically correct" when converted to curves, or vector art if you will. Be aware that some fonts are buggy and can cause you some grief. If there are other font sites you know of please let me know. The site will be reviewed and added if it meets my standards. If you find this site useful please let others know about it.
You may want to check out the Graphic Arts Directory if your love of fonts spills over to the world of design and layout.
