Do you know of a good place to find fonts?

Story is....
I am making a website for a friend of mine, and she would like some golden fonts to head her site...
Well, first of all I can't hit a golden color in the colormap I have, and second I am wondering if it is possible to find a place where you can find free fonts, and maybe even prcolored fonts.

Do you know of a way to color fonts in colors outside of the spectre offered? A small free program maybe... I would be really glad to hear from someone...

With regards to the colour you can use the map at the bottom of this page:

With regards to the font: If you use a relatively unknown font on a website the user is likely to have to download it for it to display properly. I would suggest to write with a common, well-known font (e.g. Verdana) and do titles/headings in a special font as an IMAGE!. I'll assume you're in windows and as for messing with fonts, you could use wordart with MS Office which most people tend to have. If you have Paint Shop Pro it's a nice little piece of software.

For free software perhaps GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/The_Basics/ - that is a link to the text tutorial on the website. Browse to download

Anything else?

I often use http://www.coolarchive.com. The site is not to overloaded with fonts and everything is free for download. Nice site. I think it's worth a try.
