Courses Plus Student 3,461 PointsI definitely recommend http://www.google.com/fonts and I recommend it because it has a wide variety of fonts, it's user friendly and it is very reliable.

A good source of inspiration if you use google fonts (and there are a lot of other options besides google fonts) is http://hellohappy.org/beautiful-web-type/
There's a lot of great resources for typography out there. Some I recommend are Fonts In Use and the Typekit Blog
