I know you aren't allowed to make alphas for commericial use out of most of the free fonts out there. How about using free fonts them for word art or as part of a paper in a kit you plan to sell? Does it fall under fair use?

I would appreciate any insight on this ! Thanks so much!

You'll have to check the license for each individual font. Usually free fonts are either accompanied by a license or the site you downloaded them from would have a master license you could look at. If you're downloading a free font with no license, it's most likely not free or legal.

When a font is "free" it generally just means that you don't have to pay for the license, it rarely means that you're free to do whatever you want to with it.
