All of the fonts offered on 1001fonts.com are available for free and were contributed by font authors, who have spent many hours (days, or even months) of hard work creating them. This site would not be possible without the sharing will of these font authors, so they deserve a huge amount of credit for making this site happen. If you make use of any of the fonts from this site, please show your appreciation and let the author know by sending him/her an email or a postcard.
1001fonts.com also owes respect to numerous open source communities, who provide freely available professional software and without whom this website would not be up and running:
1001fonts.com is running on FreeBSD, an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures, offering advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.
1001fonts.com's pages and downloads are served through an Apache web server, which is a collaborative software development effort aimed at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server.
 1001fonts.com uses MySQL as an SQL database server to store and access it's data. MySQL is basically available for free and runs on numerous platforms.
1001fonts.com's dynamic content and database connectivity is handeled by PHP, a server-side, cross-plattform, HTML embedded scripting language.
1001fonts.com uses FreeType to render TrueType fonts and t1lib to render PostScript fonts, displaying them as previews in the PNG format (Portable Network Graphics), a turbo-studly image format with lossless compression, created with the help of GD, a graphics library for fast image creation.
Last, but not least, we would like to thank our advertising sponsors, especially Agfa Monotype, who help cover the costs of running this free service. The server hardware and Internet connectivity are the only parts not free of charge and couldn't be afforded without our sponsors.
