I am.  Clearly.  You know you’re a font junkie when you see type on a print piece or on someone’s computer and you know the name of the fonts AND at least 2 similar ones as well.

I have over 1000 fonts on my machine and I download new ones at least once a month.  One of my favorite sites for free fonts is dafont.com.  I like this site because the fonts are well organized and grouped by style, as well as alphabetical.  Here’s my font tip of the day… ummm, one I seem to have to learn the hard way every so often.

1.  If you use a specific font in Photoshop or Illustrator and you convert it by releasing the compound path or rasterizing type, type in the font name on the layer title or in the image properties.  It’s not a fun process to find a font that you can’t remember.  

2.  If you’re using a series of fonts, copy the font files into a folder and keep if with your original layered files.  This also helps when you work on multiple compters.
