AIGA Design have just linked to a great website through twitter featuring some beautiful fonts and how they have been used in advertising, design and publishing. Font design is really under appreciated there are some really great illustrators working with fonts; i think my favourites on this page are "Bahnhof" the slightly ghoulish one which features in the picture on the left and the curly ITC American Typewriter (left and below.)
I also love the choice of words used to feature fonts. I receive the MyFonts.com newsletter 
every week and never get tired of the poetic structure used to feature them. This months featured artist Ryoichi Tsunekawa's font Camera (shown above) is a great example of this.
Everyone seems to have their own favoured font - i for example cannot type a letter without changing the font in word to Calibri and i can never believe it when people use Time New Roman for a piece of work - there are so many more fun fonts you can use!
