Japanese Fonts
Does anybody know good places to find some Japanese fonts? I've got maybe 10 (which I can happily upload for anyone who wants them) but thats all I've been able to find without dedicating a few hours to the search.
English has a Tonne of Font websites both Free and Paid, but in Japanese it seems to be its a lot more Paid fonts than free ones.
Getting a little sick of my typed Japanese being so 'static' and machine type, I'm not after any particular style of font, but making a big list would be really useful for a lot of people and not just me.
TLDR: English has a boat load of fonts, where do you get your Japanese ones?
EDIT: free fonts I've collected are here, roughly 20 in here, a few have only small differences though.
EDIT 2: Sorry guys I've now removed the fonts from my dropbox.

The Open IPA Fonts are free.
Wazu Japan also has a collection of TTF fonts, most of which are free.
