So,
Any suggestions on fonts we should add to this? And any suggestions on how we can go about choosing the fonts we really want to add from the ones ya'll post?

Hi ML,
Yes I am aware of some of those sites. However mainly what I am asking is for the Msntv and Msntv2 users who don't have the ability to store their own fonts on their local machine. So I guess the best way to do this would be to ask all of our current users what is their desert island font? The one font that they can't live without. If it's not already in our font directory, I'll add it. Would that work for ya'll?
~;-)

Well - we can always use those sites as the start of a font wish list. The fonts I use the most are generally part of IM's 'in-house' list. Probably the only one I use that I didn't have till recently is called Bazooka. It used to be included with the MS package - but wasn't in mine. I just put it in my font collection a couple of weeks ago, but it's a neat font - and not one in the IM package.
Just made this when a ? was posted in the IM forum for help from a non-zboxer. I had never made anything thing like it before - so I winged it! LOL (this is Airbrush font - already in IM)

Thanks ML. So I guess we're talking about the "Brock Script" font??

I am no expert on the rules of TTF's / font's by any means. I did put these here for you to make copies of if you want Bert.
http://www.scri8e.com/z/TTF_Dings/
I added 2 dings on a whim.
The basic shapes I have always wanted to see on a tool that can use TTF's as an in-house choice. I use it to block out backgrounds that I want to make transparent, the ovals and circles for various things.
The curly lines = curlyartnouveau I like to use for making bars dividers, header images and yadda yadda.
If you can only add the brock ttf. Or you can't add it either. No big deal. Just throwing it out there.

Josh -
I'm guessing Bert can add quite a few fonts - what's in the version that we have in Zbox seems to be a bare-bones collection of standard fonts. Not even any of the fancier ones that are in the current online versions of IM. Not even Comic Sans is included!
So......
A list of sort of "should-have" fonts for us - (not even all the ones I use in my Shimmer Names)
Art Brush
Balmoral
Black Chancery
Comic Sans
Copperplate
Bazooka
Dragonwick
Garamond
Harrington
Heather (this is hard to find the correct font - but I have it)
Impact
Lucida Sans (Handwriting)
Porky's
Psychedellic Smoke (a cool font)
Tahoma
Tempas Sans ITC
Vivaldi
Verdana
Post Crypt (I have one similar to this)

Oh, that's shiny ML! Ok for:
Art Brush - http://eknp.com/php/fd.php?f=agent_orangeBalmoral
I get a 404 error. The rest downloaded just fine to my PC and I'll be uploading them as time permits.
Thanks!
