Freebooter Script is my absolute favourite script font! It’s so elegant, and not in the typical overused script way. It’s how I come to terms with the obsession with script fonts in wedding invitations.

While the “old school” part of me love the Old Script style, I find it amazingly hard to write. I love and have better luck writing with the Renaissance and English styles.

Oh heck, I love them all!

Thanks for sharing so many font types in one place!

Alison,
I agree, that’s a great font.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Champignon is a ripoff from Parachute’s Champion Script

Mohamed,
I don’t know. I’ve never paid attention to Arabic fonts because I have no use for them, but they may exist. I would try a search on Google or Delicious.
