Another option is a software suite originally designed for the Unix/Linux platform, Font Forge, which is a freeware outline font creation and conversion tool by George Williams that has been ported to run on many different platforms. These are the industry standard tools for creating professional fonts on either a Windows or Macintosh platform. Or optionally, you can install a font design tool and convert it.Įver wanted to design your own fonts? Check out the Fontlab font editors. This can easily be done using TTConverter, a freeware utility for the Mac ( Download TTConverter for the older Macs). Mac System 7, 8 & 9 users will need to convert these TrueType fonts over to the Mac TrueType format for their platform if a Mac format version is not included with the archive. The TTF fonts in these archives are Windows/Linux/OSX platform fonts, though some archives include the font in other formats (Mac TrueType, PC PostScript Type 1, Mac PostScript Type 1, OpenType, WOFF web fonts, PC Multiple Masters or Mac Multiple Masters). Hence, 'freeware for commercial use' has become our niche at Font-Journal, but do check each and every license, as there are many exceptions.
Many of my clients will browse the journal for fonts they might particularly like for me to base their logo on. As I am a logo/font/website designer and graphic artist myself, I am seeking out freeware TTF fonts and web fonts (#webfonts) that are available for commercial use as in logos, in headlines, with copy typography or even those I might create derivatives from. Use of this site requires the user agrees to follow or obtain said font use license, if any such license is required. Many will require a commercial license if the font is not for personal use. Some freeware and shareware font designers/studios only offer demos as freeware and may require that a user register or obtain a license in exchange for the full font. Please check for any further license information documentation included in any archive (presented for your convenience when possible in font preview mode). All fonts should be free to use for personal use or better ( contact us if you have any concerns). Font-Journal is a freeware and shareware TrueType (.ttf) font repository and catalog.
