Im looking for a professional style font. I like the one used in the web devlopers text above along with the discussion forum. Any clues on fonts? Any good sites for fonts?

As true for most things, your get some good results if you search for 'em on google. Steer clear of elaborate fonts that are hard to read.

Some good fonts:

Null Pointer
Arial (I know)
TI-83 plus (its a hard one to get)
Gypordy
Blokk Up

those are just a few off of the top of my head...but the best way to find what you want is to find it your self...

Does anyone know where i can nick or buy a good Arial style font with Czech characters. . I'm trying to produce a Czech PDF document and it has been driving me nuts for months.

Thanks

Try this site:

Czech fonts (http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~aatseel/fonts/wineelatin.html)

Look at the cp 8859-2 - Arial, Courier and Times are there (Arial L2)

Professional can be pretty subjective. It will depend on the application. Professional-looking wedding invitations will use a very different font than professional looking brochures, etc.

If you mean clean, "techno-looking" (judging by your example), try :

Franklyn Gothic
Bank Gothic
Compacta
Futura
Hattenschweiler
Handel Gothic
Humanist 521
Impact
Lucida Console
MS or Sans Serif (Don't laugh, used at small sizes and without anti-aliasing, this can be a very useful font)
Machine BT
Microgamma (exceptional techy font)
Microsoft Sans Serif (if you can find it, it's anti-aliasing seems to be a bit smoother than the MS Sans Serif)
Nasalization
Orbit
Serpentine Bold
Silicon
Xenotron
