Calling all links: fonts and related software

[sm00bs]

Okay, not really ALL links, but quite a few. I'm going to be posting requests like this with various topics with the hope that people will share their favorite links here. Please, don't link to social bookmarking sites or Google. Give me your favorite links and the reasons why you like the links so much.

Today's links request is for any link related to fonts and various pieces of related software. If you have any I haven't shared or if you have opinions on what I have shared, please leave a comment.

Some of my favorites:
