Here are a couple of Web sites that may be helpful:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm
        Microsoft Typography Web site, the online resource for type
                   users and type developers. From this page you can
download fonts for use with
                   Windows and Apple Macintosh computers. 

http://www.wizvax.net/rmdesign/fonts_wp.htm
        Fonts for the Web

Cordially,
