Lots of info collected here, great to see!
To add to your resources, Comicraft (http://www.comicbookfonts.com) is another great font resource for letterers: their WildWords font is a standard in manga publication (more than Anime Ace, in my experience? I’ve never used that one in my books…) and I like a lot of their other styles too for more specialized uses. FontSquirrel.com is a nice site that rounds up free-for-commercial-use fonts (this is important to note!! much of Dafont’s selection is only free for personal use, not commercial). Google’s free webfonts can also be downloaded and used for commercial publication. Then again, some publishers provide their own font library for letterers to use, while others let you supplement their selection only with free-for-commercial-use fonts, so it may be wise to find out what’s expected from the publisher you’re applying to before you invest a fortune in fonts.
Thank you, lys! The additional resources are much appreciated. I definitely agree, touching base with the publisher first is key when working as a freelancer.
