Websites specialising in a particular language are linked from the beginning of that language's page.
For downloading CALL software
- More listings of downloadable language software at download.com, ZDNet, Freeware Home and Rocket Download. Simtel also has a large collection (there's a separate listing for old DOS programs).
- shareware.com enables keyword searching of some of the world's largest software archives.
- Macintosh: Sorry, only PC software is listed here. You could try keyword searches on Mac archives via shareware.com, and take a look at the Language Toolkit.
Fonts: Some foreign fonts are linked from this site, but they're the speciality elsewhere...
- Alan Wood's Unicode Resources - an invaluable, exhaustive source of practical information about the standard for multilingual text. Find out which fonts support which scripts, what applications you can use, and which characters are in each Unicode range.
- The Gallery of Unicode Fonts is a useful adjunct to the above, as it shows graphic samples of scripts and specific fonts.
- FontFinder from the Summer Institute of Linguistics links to hundreds of fonts (and some word processors) for many languages and several operating systems. The Doulos SIL Font particularly is worth a look - a single Unicode-based font for almost any writing system.
- Luc Devroye's Font Pages have vast numbers of links to fonts organised by language - some free, some commercial.

- CALICO has an extensive list of reviews, and more can be found at Language Learning & Technology, C&IT Centre Software Reviews and Ashcombe School (includes teacher, pupil and management feedback). See also TEEM and QuickerWit.
