Hey Hoover, try Fonts.com they have a ton of fonts though you have to pay for them. I have also gone to www.1001freefonts.com and downloaded some.

How does it work? Will they just show up in word and other programs?

[Hoover]

Anyone?

Adobe Type Manager is what you want. It costs $, but it is, without a doubt, the most comprehencisve font application out there.

If you want to graphically design your own fonts, pick up Adobe Illustrator.

NOTE: this comes from years of working for a publishing company... it was all Adobe

How much would it run?

I found ATM Deluxe 4.1 on Amazon for approx $50. You can purchase additional fonts to add to it from their open library.

If you're going to seriously get into publishing, you may want to look into Adobe Font Library... it has thousands of fonts (also costs thousands of dollars).

Illustrator CS, used, will run you about $300. New, 400-500... but you can create your own fonts

NOTE: it's not easy. Fonts cost a lot of money because it's painstaking work done by graphic artists and calligraphers.... professionals. If you have the aptitude and patience, Illustrator is the way to go.
