Some thoughts:
- You can probably use the fonts installed on your system without having
to purchase a separate license. You simply have to be careful about
embedding the font because some fonts don't allow that (TTFReader will
tell you). Also, look into the license text of the respective fonts so
you don't do anything wrong. If you plan to redistribute these fonts it
gets more complicated.
- You can assume that the fonts used by IE and Netscape are high-quality
enough for your task.
- If you want to buy fonts, you can go to any online font shop (ex.
http://www.myfonts.com or http://www.linotype.com). If possible, I
usually look for producer names such as Linotype, Adobe or Bitstream.
- In principle, all TrueType or Type1 fonts you can purchase should work
with FOP. If one doesn't work, then our font support is not perfect and
should be improved.
