Fonts and licenses

[maryellie]

Long shot but does anyone know the legalities of using fonts commercially, I'm thinking about starting up a business and would involve selling products with writing on. Can I use Microsoft fonts as I want and download any of the Internet as I want?

Thanks!

Bit late,sorry.

Not sure about MS office fonts but fonts one with licenses and depending on the license they may be restrictions. Same as music and images really.

Some fonts can be illegally downloaded for free, not a good idea from a business. There are fonts that are free to download but may come with restrictions about not using it commercially without buying a license to use it in that way.
