Bad news. It`s not free. Apparently, the Bebris font was a clone of
a copyrighted font called "Democratica". The people who own that
font (a company called Emigre) want a bunch of money to download it
(at least, $39 is a lot of money in my world for a font--but then,
just about any amount of money more than a postage stamp is a lot of
money in my world for a font....) and are pretty active in enforcing
their control of their intellectual property (an oxymoronic,
delusional human legalistic concept if there ever was one, but c`est
la court) so if you do pay for it I don`t know how they feel about
you actually using it in works that you distribute. I`m sure you can
find that out, though, if you`re willing to pay for it.

Here`s a link to the site that has the font:

http://www.paratype.com/mstore/fonts/Democratica.htm

Back when the Democratica font was cloned as the Bebris font I had a
copy of it and used it for all my BR materials--but that was before I
knew the guys who owned it were so anal... and then the PC I used
crashed without the font backed up. Oh, well. Now I use the Book
Antiqua font for BR titles, headers, etc. and that works just as
well, even if it does seem a little unauthentic to me....

Best of luck,
