Which one is your favourite?
I kind of like the functionality of MyFonts, really slick. So, I guess that makes it my favourite.
Am I missing out on other ones though?
Can you get those fonts cheaper somewhere else?

depends on which font you want to purchase

Well - some fonts aren't that easy to find in BitTorrent. Plus it's nice to support people who actually make these fonts.
neue75_bold - are you suggesting nobody buys fonts anymore?
- same way nobody buys music, films, porn, magazines anymoreclearThoughts
- I'm suggesting that I'm so badass, type designers send me stuff for free so I make badass design with them..neue75_bold

MyFonts usually has the best price for fonts that are sold elsewhere (Adobe for example, how do they override the rule that the MyFonts price has to be equal to the max price elsewhere, is a mystery to me).
Does anyone buy fonts because of a cool shop? That would be news to me. FontShop has been a fucking pain in the ass (visually and usablity-wise) for years, still I bought them a Porsche Cayenne.

Nice - Thanks for the links.
Nobody replied my question though. The problem I'm having with MyFonts, is that I picked 5 fonts for a project, added them to a cart and finally when I went to pay for them, I found out that they don't take my debit card.
So, I'm trying to get the same five fonts elsewhere and it's a pain in the ass.Will try using one of the links above in a minute.

Well if its a debit card you may have some difficulty as most places will only take credit cards or paypal. Anyway, that gripe wasn't in your original post, you asked for favourite font shops and if you can get fonts cheaper elsewhere.
Both of those points were answered, sir!

you can open a paypal account and use your debit card to pay for the fonts.
voila!
