this post is the follow up of “All About Fonts : Part 1 : Top 5 Resources“. In this post I will list some of the best alternative resources for fonts. It is not just a list from 6 to 10 , it is a complete new list because the intention of these websites are different. Main purpose of the websites before is to have the biggest list,and most fonts possible. but what they don’t have are special fonts made my people who don’t like to sent their font on a big list but prefer to show-em of at their own website/blog, and therefor much harder to find. This list is not ordered, there is no first place nor a last place since most of you know that one can be good at doing one thing and completely fail in the other. The websites I’m about to list all have completely unique fonts, created by their rightful owner. until 5/6 years ago I used this list to find my fonts but this list is outdated and hardly any link works. Here we go!

As a designer, programmer, neo-blogger I know the importance of using the right font in the right place. The hunt for the right font and the most original fonts therefor is an ongoing battle between top designers. Myself on the other hand like to use fonts that represent myself in some way. the headers from the sidebox on this blog have the “FatBoy Slim” font, I like his music! My previous theme header had the Marlboro font because I used to smoke, I quit recently.
Anyway! I want to say something about every aspect regarding font, but in this post I’m going to limit to the best resources that are around, not the biggest ones, the nicest one. The criteria is simple, usability, and simplicity. Everyone hates to click through 3/4 pages before getting what you need, and I fill in under everyone… do you? Okay here we go!

I have been looking all over the web for patterns, I was stunned by some websites, and very disappointed by others.
My idea was to make an top 10 but got stuck at 6, 2 of these share the first place because both have an large set of patterns and yet so different from each other!
SquidFingers
Squidfingers offers 158 retro styled patterns (and counting)
DinPattern
DinPattern is probably the best resource for “modern” patterns, they look nice and new patterns are added on daily base
