Nice collection of fonts, 2007-10-14
This collection of fonts is a good solid collection of fonts for print and for general use. There is a good variety from Gothic, sans serif, Roman, Blackletter, modern, there are some cartoon fonts, comic fonts, and a whole range, etc.
If you are using these fonts for personal use or non commercial business use, these fonts will be great.
The bad thing though is that these fonts are proprietary and copyrighted, and there are limitations as to their use. You are not allowed to use them for commercial purposes i.e. use them on anything that is to be sold, which I think is bad. If for example, you want to create a T-shirt design and you use the fonts in this collection with your design and you want to sell the T-shirts, that would be illegal.
Most software I use especially 3D modeling software, sound editing software, etc. allow you to use the content any way you wish provided you do not sell the original content itself, in this case to sell the actual fonts themselves. (In my 3D modeling software, you can use the content commercially so long as you do not copy and sell the software itself or the original content itself or modified versions of the original content i.e. meshes and such, which is fair, someone worked hard to make all of those meshes, but you can make your own original characters from the software and content and those are yours to use as you wish.) So I don't like this particular fact. I can understand not allowing someone to sell or publicly distribute the original fonts themselves; someone worked hard to create them, and they deserve their credit and royalties and of course should get paid for their work, but not to allow you the user to use them in printed matter to be sold I think is unreasonable. The printed matter is copyrighted by the one who wrote the material and the fonts are just the medium that the material is being written with.
I am going to eventually invest in font editor/creator software so I can create my own fonts from scratch and then I can use both the fonts and printed material any way I wish without restriction at all.

 Wasn't that impressed, 2006-05-03
I just got this for scrapbooking and was a little disappointed with the variety of fonts - SOOO many of them were the same! It says 10,000 fonts but most of them have a up to five different slants on them (italics, bold, ect) and that cuts the number dramatically. I will probably use a dozen and I guess for the couple bucks I paid it was worth it but it's definetly not a must buy.

 font fonts fonts, 2004-10-05
being into web designs, there never seems to be enough fonts. Well maybe there is with this! I mean 10,000 quality TrueType fonts,specialized Alphabets, and neat word art images, this just about covers it all.
As with all ClickArt products, they are easy to use and they deliver what they promise. I bought one font CD that promised 4,000 fonts, and it had 400 fonts with the option to join their special font club and pay for more. I felt ripped off. I think ClickArt always delivers what they say.
When you consider some of these fonts - just 1 font cost $21.95 alone - this is an amazing buy.
