The League of Movable Type is a movement that encourages free use of fonts for both private and commercial purposes. On the website http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com there is a wide selection of free fonts you can use for any purpose and in any of your projects.

Before downloading your font, you can take a look at the preview for each font.

For those interested in detailed license terms, there is a link on the very bottom to the license document.

We at faqbay.com especially liked the font Chunk Five that is, as you can see, widely used on very this website as well as in our YouTube videos.

Other sources of free fonts for commercial use are fontsquirrel.com and dafont.com. I didn't know this one, thanks for posting.
