This site has more than 1001 free fonts I’m sure these days. Available in both, Windows (True Type) and Mac formats, listed alphabetically and with a preview for each font, this is pretty much the first place I go to when I’m looking for a particular typeface.

Answer: They released it today without any fanfare or announcement - at least that I have seen! What’s more, they’ve come [...]
This is a freeware and light version of the software based on IntelliCAD. It reads and writes *.dwg files natively and has no file-size limitations like some other packages. The Pro version naturally has more features and the handling of paperspace leaves something to be desired, but all in all, you can’t complain at this [...]
After being chased by the vendors, I finally bit the bullet and purchased Archicad 9.0 from Adroitec almost a year after seeing the demo.
