   Many of the mac archives (wuarchive, archive.umich.edu) have loads
of TT fonts, but they're usually compressed with programs (Compact
Pro, Stuffit Deluxe) that have no GS counterpart. If you've got access
to a mac, download things, unpack there, and thn transfer them over to
the GS.

   Otherwise, your next best bet is to get (or borrow) a CD rom drive
and one of those CDroms full of (unlocked) TT fonts. (Browse the back
of Mac or PC magazines for real deals... I've seen 500 fonts on a $20
disk; just make sure the GS can read it.) That way (especially if you
do this with a friend), you can get a ton of fonts for pennies.
