Unfortunately, yeah. From what I've read, quality fonts take lots of time. I'm guessing it might take hundreds of man-hours to create one that can be used in body text (and not just headlines), so you have to pay for them.

A few years ago, I scrounged the internet for free fonts, and most of the fonts I found were stylistic headline fonts. The headline fonts only did uppercase letters, numbers, and maybe some punctuation. Accented characters? Forget it. Back then, the selection of free-fonts-you'd-want to-read-a-book-with was dismal.

If anyone can find any good free fonts, please correct me. In the meantime, I'll try trawling the web again, and tell you my results.
