Check on ebay.com. There are lots of CorelDraw CDs for sale there. Make sure 
you buy the Corel program CD and not a book about Corel. There are many 
people selling books about Corel that may sound like it's the program itself. 
I've used Corel fonts for many years now and have never had problems with 
them. 

Konqueror file manager will show a small preview of each font (both type 1 and 
truetype).
