I like designing (and have read a few typography books) but typography seemed like it was expensive to get into. What software do you use? What entry-level software is there?
For web and graphic design there was almost no monetary cost to learning.

Nowadays there are plenty of good free fonts available too (although you are naturally limited). Free software fonts like Gentium are a pleasure on the eye in print.
I'm not too familiar with the more DTP side of software available as free software though.
Of course web browsers have come a long way too. Decent typography is already possible in the modern web browser, and more goodies become available all the time.
