Good fantasy-novel fonts
As the title says. Anyone got any good tips? Or maybe a site to scrounge up some free ones?
EDIT: Baby Bahamut's saying Lucida Sans Unicode.

Using anything but New Courier in manuscript and Times New Roman in the publication is a crime, dammit.

But seriously, do you mean within the book itself as in on the pages, or for the cover/title text? Obviously the innards have to consider readability over style, while the cover text can be a lot more fancy. |

I don't have any suggestions but this website is pretty awesome as far as finding free downloadable, good looking fonts. http://www.dafont.com/top.php

Depends on what you're going to use it for. If you want it on a map on the inside book cover or something, Old English is a good standby, and Vivaldi can work in a pinch. If you want something a bit more readable for, say, a title, you can go with any number of script-type fonts, like half of anything labeled "ITC" or anything labeled "script." I also have one called Magic Medieval, which looks pretty good and is very legible, but I can't recall where I got it from.
