Maybe i’m missing something, but none of these fonts are safe to use for a web design, as none of them are ubiquitous.
Awesome post, I used most of these fonts weekly!

Saying these are the top “pro” fonts is false. Many of these fonts are fake copies of letter-forms used in popular web2.0 logos. They are mostly used due to the popularity of those sites and because they are free. Most “pros” would custom illustrate letterforms for a company logo either from scratch or as a slight mod to a base, established font.
Since these are not web friendly fonts, I’m assuming these are being used for logos and graphic headers/titles. Judging from how many of these are designed, these would not be suitable for use in smaller point sizes and are not optimized for use in large amounts of body copy or for reading on the screen (or print for that matter… issues with kerning, clumping due to variance in weight between letterforms, ect.)
This article should be renamed to “22 Most Used Free Fonts on the Web.”
great post! downloading all of them for future projects.

My only criticism would be that you provide an archived file of all the fonts.
Great post!
@Mark Sanborn – We can put an archived file of all the fonts but the only reason why we didn’t because we don’t want to stole Traffic of official source. They also deserve their share!
This is a pretty nice compilation of typefaces, but some of them are not free for commercial use, which makes them useless for professional designers.

I love these fonts. So simple and contemporary.
Awesome list of resources! Thank you for sharing.
I would just like to add one more set of typography resources and that is the forum of http://www.pilo.me
It is a private typography forum with an unbelievable amount of free fonts, premium fonts and exclusive typefaces. I think it was voted the best typography forum of 2009. If you are a font lover/addict, check it out. Like I said though, it is either private or invite only. I have never seen a typography site like it with all it has to offer. Anyhow, check it out, pilo.me
Anyhow, great article, I definitely will be referring to these time to time.

looking through these collections.
ilm izle, you might be interested in reading here and here about the Hewitson monkey studies, which are not too different from the experiment you describe. Of course, the Hewitson monkey studies are severely limited in usefulness (usefulness to science, anyways) by the conflicts of interest of the lead author, but you might find them interesting.
You might want to consider carefully something Orac noted, namely, “The first thing I always look at whenever reading any study is a simple question: What is the hypothesis being tested?

I would say Delicious and Gentium are the best according to me. But if you want me to select on from this, I would say Gentium is better. I will ask my designers to use this font on our website, as this font gives a great look to the website.
