Best fonts to use on maps?

[Publius]

I am with Sir Alain, Blmbot is very nice as a source for fonts. Lots of really great comic-styles there for the Champions fans.

I generally use different fonts for different projects. The selection criteria isn't all that scientific. One of the fonts I really love for modern building interiors (which ironically is what I do most often despite the fact that I have not yet posted any) is Tekton Pro, which looks like Technical (but is slightly superior to it IMHO, especially since it is an OpenType font)

Publius's last entry just gave me an idea: we should start a thread in the Resources section where all you do is post a pic (not just the name) of your favorite map font(s), with perhaps a word or two on uses, and of course the link to where it can be downloaded!

We could even start a few threads, one for moder mapping, one for sci fi, etc.

Okay, I convinced myself: going over there right now to do just that. Hopefully see you there in a minute!

Excellent idea!
