this is amazing. keep it up!
i purged lots of free fonts and general garbage from my library. forgot the names of most of the seriously offensive ones, but i'd say anything:
- that looks vaguely like it might be on a spaceship or alien tshirt
- with a whimsical, taco bell approach to latin culture

most "mexican" fonts should die too

I don't necessarilyl hate all system fonts, I just hate that they get used out of laziness in some design.
I also hate that people who design stuff on their computers but aren't designers always choose the worst font on their machine.
So many times someone will do a cover for some document and use some swirly shit, when from the choice they have times will do fine.
