What Are Your Favorite Fonts?

Looking for some guidelines on choosing fonts.

Do you have a favorite goto font?

Does it change based on whether the letters are remain with the piece vs cut out of the piece, or if the letters are all kerned to touch each other?

Do you have a favorite site to download fonts?

Do you use standard fonts and make bridges to support the letters with floating parts (O P R Q A)?

I use dafont.com (hat-tip to Travis for pointing out this site in his Inkscape tutorial!).  So far, most of what I've used is the "Grease" font, then once I get the pattern set up, I'll save it as a .png file and open it up in Gimp to remove the little highlight spots in the letters and change it to a light red color.  Gimp also lets me bridge over to floating parts.

My two most used fonts are Cooper Black for stand up letters and when I need to cut out of the piece I use Scroll Beach Italic.

Thanks guys. 

Just trying to learn Inkscape. Is Gimp easier to put bridges in letters?
