Is there a way to get more Chinese character fonts?

After setting up IME for Chinese input, I noticed a small number of
Chinese fonts in MS Office 2003. Are there more free fonts to get? Or is
this it?

Thank you in advance. :)

Google is such a great resource. If you enter the search term, "free
Chinese fonts", you get about 233,000 links. At least the first few
should be useful to you.

Also, any sites that show screen shots would be helpful so I don't have
to download these huge font files.

Well, search around for font sites that have a) Chinese fonts; b)
previews of said fonts. Usually font files aren't "huge", but ymmv.

I'm afraid that what you received with the IME (Office 2003) is all
you're going to get for free. There are other sources of Asian fonts
that are available, however, they will probably be commercial pay
fonts.
