Try some. The problem is that they usually look good only in large sizes with 
antialias. Good scalability is not very common in freeware fonts. And they 
often contain only a very limited set of characters.

In my opinion, apart from quality issues, making sure the font(s) are freely 
modifiable (i.e. "free", not just "gratis") would be important, too.
