Here’s a very nice (and very usable) serif font that you probably haven’t found (unless you troll obscure European government websites looking for .ttf files): Union is available from the Danish Ministry of Education (Click the “UNION” and “UNIONBD” links).
Tomorrow: The U.S. Homeland Security Department’s whimsical take on Comic Sans.
Update: Looks like the Danes have taken their font and gone home.

At any given moment, FontShop offers exactly one of their many commercial typefaces available for free download. Right now, that font is Xavier Dupré’s award winning Absara Light (as featured in Typographica’s “Favorite Fonts of 2004.”)
Apparently, Absara Light will disappear soon to make way for Nexus Sans Bold. So make haste!
Thanks to Stephen at Typographica for the tip.
Update: Absara Light is gone.
