Comics and Cartoon Lettering fonts

I DON'T REMEMBER who said there are more than 60000 fonts available on the net. But it can be hard to find a good font for comic book lettering. Here is a list of all the dialogue fonts I know. I started searching for fonts with Swedish accents but now I am listing all the fonts I find. There are no downloads on my site. I try to link to the original type designers.
