The main site is http://scripts.sil.org. You can find links to font 
downloads and the license there.

I think Doulos SIL is pretty interesting. It looks very similar to Times 
N R and has almost all Roman- and Cyrillic- characters. But it's missing 
italic and bold types and they are not planned. But as it is Open Font 
License, it is allowed to change them and create these styles.
They also have other fonts like Arabic and Hebrew

And there are more Open Source fonts at http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/

Maybe it would be a good idea, to make a wiki page adressing all font 
concerns. Like what fonts do we need, what fonts are there with a GPL 
compatible license, is it allowed to change these fonts, how should 
fonts be named, what unicode characters should be in these fonts,... I 
think I will do this now...
