  1. No, but I’ve asked that exact question before and had it copyrighted, so you owe me a royalty. I will email you to let you know where to send the check.

  2. it depends on what the User license agreement says, unless it’s a font thats widely used.

  3. You need to check the documentation that came with the Font. If it’s a font that’s built into Windows or other Operating System, you need the check your OS’s documentation or contact the Company.If you downloaded your fonts off the internet, you need to check the documentation that came with it. If you have no documentation, the Font should have contact information in the Preview window.If the documentation says that it is free for any use (personal or otherwise), you do not need to worry about obtaining any usage liscences.Otherwise, you will need to contact the author of the font to obtain any necessary liscences for commercial use.

  4. Read the copyrightmost are free for personal use.You are getting payed not personal use.

  5. Go to the sites you downloaded the fonts from and ‘read’ the ‘agreement’ you had to accept to be able to download those fonts free. If you need to ‘pay’ to use them, then do that … but there is nothing called a ‘copyright license’ that I’ve ever heard of … and my husband is a ‘computer pro’ who works as a web developer, and if there was a ‘copyright license’ he’d have one … and he doesn’t. What he does have is a good ‘researcher’ to check to make sure that the fonts he uses are ‘legal’ for him to use before he ‘publishes’ any website he designs.

  6. yes and make sure that everybody that you tell about your item signs a agreement that wil stop them from stealing it from you. I think its called a frenge benifit or something like that. It will be also best for you to keep as many people out of the making of you item as possable, so more of the profits are yours. be very carfull going into thi area because their are many thieves wearing suites, if you know what I mean.
