Here are links to fonts that were used in Dungeons & Dragons during the TSR era, starting with the original little brown books, up to and including some WotC 3rd edition fontography. The original list was done by Aardy R. DeVarque, but much has changed in the digital font landscape since that list was compiled. An attempt is made to find an open and free font, if possible.
