What is the difference between freeware, shareware, and commercial fonts?
The difference in the fonts is how they are licensed for use.
Freeware fonts are free to use, as long as you follow the font maker’s restrictions.
Shareware is free to test out, then if you plan to use it, you pay the appropriate license fee for either personal or commercial use. Commercial fonts are fonts that you prepay, and these can be used for personal and commercial use.

What’s licensing? Can’t I just buy the font?
Paying a license fee and downloading a font seems like buying the font, but really it’s not. You are granted a license to use the font for a specific purpose, and you download the font so that you can use it according to the license.
