Font Download

A book I was reading is set in the font Meridien, and every now and then when I should be writing, I simply like to fiddle around with lay-out and different fonts and whatnot. Now, I'd like to try to waste my time with the above-mentioned font. Does anyone know how to get it. I tried some Google, but I couldn't really find anything satisfying. Anyone knows how to download special fonts?

PS If this is in the wrong section, I won't hold it against a mod to move it. Much.

It's a commercial font. Did you want to buy it?

Okay, then not I guess. Thanks ejket!

Just in case you change your mind: http://www.linotype.com/1226/meridien-family.html

And to ~~feed a fellow addict~~ offer some options, here's a couple of my favorite font finding/comparing sites:

Commercial (with some free fonts available): http://new.myfonts.com/, http://www.fonts.com/.

(Mostly) free: http://www.dafont.com/, http://www.acidfonts.com/

Thanks there. I have put my WIP in Batang now, weird little font. And free, too.

Using different fonts while writing is a good idea, it helps you to see things differently and spot typos
