The 100 best free fonts of 2012

There are many lists of best free fonts, but this list by the Dutch Studio Daas is not slapped together in ten minutes. I reproduce it here in summary form, grouped by the source. This is supposed to be a snapshot of the best free fonts in 2012, but since it was published in May 2012, I assume that the 12 months preceding May 2012 are meant.
