Can you guys suggest and/or link me to some specific free fonts that you think might work as dialogue fonts for my comic?
I'm really struggling in picking a font for my comic.
All suggestions are welcome.
I'm willing to buy one, if the font is perfect.
I'm sorry but I don't currently have any pages I can post yet. I do have a character sketch inked, found here: http://www.drunkduck.com/Causing_Static/
Here's some background information:
* Format: ~24 page by-issue standard size comic books. To be initially and primary released as a Web Comic... but created for possibility of print as well.
* Tone: Serious. If humor: dark humor.
* Style: Horror/Macabre meets Sci-Fi meets Fantasy meets Cultural Satire meets the Superhero genre
* Futuristic, Post-Apocolyptic feel. Technology is highly advanced.
* Magic is a large factor as well as technology. Spirits, spells, metahumans, summoning, energy weapons, mind control... the works.
* Protagonists are essentially evil, at first.
* Main antagonists are VERY evil.
* Other antagonists include: undead, religion, robots, mutated humanoids, bounty hunters, government, cults, etc...
* Overall goal of comic: Illustrate the workings of 'good vs. evil' within a myriad of characters, but most particularly - inately evil ones.
Thank you all in advance!

Thank you Sub. I appreciate your forum dilligence... Subcultured never fails to answer/reply with intelligent and helpful comments.
Digital Strip is a very nice dialogue font. Displays well on screen even at very small points... all at it's default setting. It doesn't look too cartoony but still has a distinctive comic-book feel. Very nice suggestion.
Neuropol is a great font too. I am however having some kerning issues with it. I need to set the kerning to like +50 in order to keep it readable... which is okay I guess... but I end up only getting about 3 words per line at 8 point font size whereas I can get 5-6 with other fonts in the same amount of space. I did like the subtle tech feel too it though... it wasn't overpowering.
Thanks again sub... anyone else got any suggestions?
