Font Squirrel offers 300+ quality, free, commercial-friendly fonts
Finding free fonts on the net isn't really all that hard - the list of sites offering gratis typefaces is a pretty one. Good quality fonts? That's a slightly shorter list.
Good quality free fonts that can be used commercially? That list is even smaller.
Thankfully, the good folks behind Font Squirrel have worked their tails off putting together a large collection (currently 338) hand-selected typefaces that may be used in all your projects, both personal and professional.
Fonts are broken down into the usual families like hand-drawn, grunge, serif, and typewriter. There's a search box as well, helpful for quickly checking whether or not the Squirrel has a specific font.
I was pleased to find Mirisch, one of my favorite Ren and Stimpy-esque fonts.

Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

nice link! picking some at random not all of them have a license that covers all purpose commercial use (for example embedding a font to be rendered in a video game is a different sort of commercial application then embedding it in documents for printing), but its a good start
