Now I am not saying that all fonts should be free. I have no problem paying for a font that I need to have to finish a project, but I would rather find a free font that fits what I need.
These are the sites I visit on a regular basis in order to get some new fonts for inspiration for designs, finish projects or just to check out the recent submissions. Hopefully you too will find something you like amongst them as well.
FontFabric.com

MyFonts.com
My Fonts is another great resource. Most of the fonts on this site are paid fonts, but they do have a number of fonts that are free. 494 free fonts to be exact. Again, like with Font Fabric, My Font offers quality fonts that work great in a number of project types. They also have a tool called 'WhatTheFont' that can help you identify a font that you don't know the name of.

Font Squirrel is a site that should not be overlooked. All the fonts on their site are 100% free not just for personal use but also for commercial use. The catch is that they are really just a database with offsite links to the actual downloads. Though they did all the leg work to make sure that all the fonts they list are commercial free, therefor you have to love them for it.
Fonts offers a wide selection of both paid and free fonts. In order to download the free fonts you must create an account (which is free as well). Fonts is a great place to find decorative fonts for flyers, email campaigns and other print designs.

dafont.com
dafont is another good site to visit to find fonts for various print projects. Be sure to check whether or not the font you are interested in is free for commercial use, personal use or both. Nothing like getting files ready to send off and realize that the the fonts you are using are free for personal use only. Its okay to admit it, we have all been there at some point.
