i don't say this in a mean way but as a warning: if i have to look at your source code to try and find out what font you're using, you're probably infringing on the font's license. fonts also require credits. aside from being rude, most free fonts fall under creative commons and LEGALLY require credit

where should we put credits? or should we refrain from using these fonts?

on a links/credits page should suffice! linking to the creator's site of choice is the best bet, but linking to where you downloaded the font from (such as a respository like dafont) should work if the creator's site is down

noting the credit in your code itself in addition to a link somewhere on your site is also a backup option just to be absolutely sure you're covering it
open letter to everyone who runs a webring with a script members can't edit: please make links open in a new tab/window (target="_blank") so visitors can still remain on the page they're one ;A;

@yourcreativeblog oh i'm defo gonna switch but when you have 10+ gigs of used space, 20 subdomains, and most of them use their own databases........ it gets Tedious to migrate ): part of why i didn't leave dreamhost sooner lol

@beanbottles unfortunately it means they ruined a Lot ;A; on top of the updates script i use on all my sites, it also broke some of my tcg stuff and all my fanlisting stuff as well, and then i couldn't access any of the content to manually back up ;A;

ok so the overall update is i did get things rolled back, and i'm switching hosts bc i don't want to pay $20 /mo for hosting + fees for using older versions of php. for now the rollback means things will function but i am debating a different way of hosting updates

I have all my scripting/PHP/ASP classic sites still on godaddy. I hate their service, but I really can't be bothered to migrate and convert most of them, so I stay year after year.
