Looking it, I "feel" a serif font.
So, I think that Tjitske24 has more chances to find a font with the same look in this category.

It's dependin what you do with this "photos"...

At the end of the option line (where is "Size", "Sorted by", etc.), clic on "More Options".
I was wondering if a font is marked "Free", may I use it commercially?
Theoricaly.

C'est juste un désir de nuisance ou des véléïtés de redresseur de tords ?

The "business card" is for "business", right ? So, it's commercial.
this cards are commercial tools for business. You don't sold it but you make money using it.

To use a commercial font, you need pay it.
If you don't want to pay, use a free font.
Download a commercial font for free, it's theft.
C'est comme la durée de refroidissement du fut du canon : un certain temps...

For a commercial font, if you want to use it, you must pay it.
Downloading a commercial font for free, it's theft. An this forum is clearly wath you call "the wrong way" for that.
If you don't have enough money, chose a free font, it exist many.
Wath size of text are you using ?
Have you tried with a size like 100 or more ?
Wath the number of color ?
With 2 colors (black and white, it's normal that the anti-alias don't have effect.
Have you tried with 16M colors or 256 grey levels ?
It happens with all the fonts downloaded from Dafont
It don't happen with other fonts ?
