I second the use of DeviantArt for resources! thumbsup.gif

Fonts:
The commonly used http://www.dafont.com/

Program(s):
Adobe Photoshop CS2
Preview (the nifty standard iMac image browser)

Other:
Various Photoshop tutorials on the web (including on Deviantart.)

And of course, my camera! I've slowly weaned myself off of other peoples' textures and have been using my own for quite awhile now.

Image-uploading sites are also very helpful tools for graphic-makers who share their creations online:
