Finding fonts
When I lost my hard drive recently I lost two of my favourite fonts, MarketBold and MarkerPoint. I can't find them in any of my CD-ROM sets, so I'm about to start searching the web. They look very similar to the font used in the "Webmaster Forums" graphic at the top left of this forum.
Can anyone suggest some good font sites to start at? Most of the sites I go to say "Hundreds of fonts" and then have one page listing ten other sites! Sometimes you can surf for ages and never get near an actual font (sorry - just having my daily whinge!)

A classmate gave me this URL, and it seems to really have at least a hundred...

A site I really like is http://www.fontflood.com. They have their fonts indexed by category; not by name. It's really easy to find a type of font your looking for. Recommended!

Another good resource for fonts is http://www.fontpool.com and http://www.flashkit.com/fonts/index.shtml
A cool font for icons is called TomBots.
