An Index of Fonts

The aim of the International Type Index is: "to build a searchable database of all fonts from all foundries, from all the world, to the benefit of both users AND authors." I thought I would try this out and typed in the names of some rarely used fonts I know about. It didn't have them in the data base. I got more and more common in my requests, all the way to Times New Roman and it still said it couldn't find anything. The data base does have some fine fonts but at this point the collection is not extensive and the trend seems to be towards the more unique/interesting fonts as opposed to the more frequently used fonts. It has an advanced font search feature which has questions about appearance, thick/thin, foundry, author and another dozen or so. The only time I could get this feature to really work properly was when I chose just one of the multiple choices for one question. While I'm less than totally enamored with the site, it has potential and bears watching. Keep your eye on it.
