One of the most important features of your website is the style of your font.  Font type can really add a unique quality to your site.  While the content, or body, of your site should be in a generic (common) font so that it does not look different on clients browsers/computers, the font on your navigation menu or titles of pages could be enhanced by unique fonts. 

Using these fonts can be great when creating these navigation buttons or page titles in Photoshop, Fireworks, etc.  I found a great site that allows you to download these unique fonts--the whole book of fonts-- for a small fee.  TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY!  http://www.1001freefonts.com/ultimatedownload.htm

I also found a great progam to view the thousands of fonts without having to install all of them.  Its called AMP and can be found at this website: http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontViewer.php

As a web designer, I find this program to be useful to view these fonts quickly without installing them, allowing my design programs to run on my computer without bogging it down.  Hope you enjoyed the quick tips!
