I am looking at different fonts. Using Adobe Illustrator with Windows. Where is a good place to download fonts from? Looking for low cost or FREE. Something like this.

Rojitor,
Search for Helvetica at the sites you recommend. Here are my findings.
http://www.dafont.com/ 0 font on DaFont for Helvetica
http://www.1001fonts.com/ $59.00 + no english
http://www.fontgarden.com/ no search no Helvetica
http://www.moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/lloyd/ no
http://www.acidfonts.com/index.htm link to fonts.com $29.00 USD
http://www.abstractfonts.com/ link to myfonts.com $$$
http://www.fonts.com/ $29 to $885.00 USD
http://www.fontfreak.com/ link to fonts.com $29 to $885.00 USD
http://www.simplythebest.net/fonts/ Liberation Sans
http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/ few weird ones

Looks like dafont.com, fontgarden.com, moorstation.org/typoasis, and simplythebest.net/fonts are the only ones that are free. See no Helvetica? They do have lots to look at.

Obama,
Thanks for showing me where to look for fonts in Windows 7, Looked at Windows XP fonts in the old computer. Put them all in a folder in the Windows 7 computer. When I look at Windows 7 > Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts. The fonts are all organized;

Like this:
Arial Black
Arial Bold
Arial Bold Italic
Arial Italic
Arial Regular
They are all grouped together but there is no folder?

When I copy paste other fonts into a storage folder they look like separate files. Not sure why this is? Drag fonts over to the "Obama" folder. They magically install, organize themselves and all is good.

I am happy that I found my old XP favorite font. Bookman Old Style
