I wasn't sure where to go with this question, but since this a good forum that I've used for help before, I decided to go for it.
What laws are there concerning the use of computer fonts (Arial, Verdana, etc, basically any fonts that came originally on your computer is what I'm referring to here) on items you sell? Example: you have a business/event where you want to make and sell t-shirts. You buy or make blank tees, then make iron-on transfers on your computer (or some other kind of transfer, I don't know of any other specific kind), then transfer the design onto a t-shirt and sell the t-shirt. Are you allowed to use fonts on your items?
Condensed, shorter version: If you are selling items with a design on them that includes text, are you allowed to use one of your computer's fonts to make the text, or is that violating some kind of font copyright law?
