Thank you for your reply. I am able to use multiple fonts from my list, that isn't what I'm wondering about. I'm just looking for suggestions from the folks here who have lots of experience with the use fonts, on 3 or 4 different fonts (some favorites) that would work together on a poster like page and not clash with one another. I've read that I shouldn't use two serifs or two sans, but you could use a serif and a sans and they wouldn't fight each other for attention. I know I could look for ones that allow bold or italics, or use upper or lower case with the same font too. Should I stick to one sans and one serif, or could I use two of each as long as they didn't resemble each other???
I'm also wondering if someone might be so kind as to point me to a spot with some simplified information, that could teach me a little more about the different types of fonts and their meanings (fonts for dummies???)
p.s...I have to tell you that I don't even know what a glyph is, or what a .ttf or otf file is..

I'm new here, but I've had the pleasure of downloading some of the wicked fonts here on the site. I, however, am clueless as to what is what, as well as what should go with what. I've looked around on line to simplify some of the different fonts and types, but it sort of gets mixed up from the page to my brain....
If there is anyone, or any place that I could go for "fonts for dummies", I'd really appreciate it. I am not a designer but am having fun with my Silhouette machine and would like to put a subway art together that doesn't make one go cross eyed. I have read that there are "rules" of what goes where...but again...(picture the doe in headlight...) Its not clicking.
I'd like to put together 3 or 4 fonts that wont clash for the board. I have about 20 to 25 words I'm going to place on there and could sure use a guiding hand when it comes to choosing something that will please my eyes.

thank you so much for any help you may have the patience to offer me (newbie...)
