Royalty Free fonts?

I have a question about a couple of fonts, does anyone know if Scraiptina is a royalty free font? What about Pharmacy? I have seen these fonts used a couple of times in backgrounds, images, overlays, etc... online and I am wondering if they are really royalty free fonts. Does anyone know of some of the names of some others?

I know that Hootie, Problem Secretary, and Harting are Royalty free. but I really need a royalty free script font.
Thans Ladies!!

I believe the two you mentioned are, as they appear on many of the free font sites.

From my article About Fonts: http://scrapbook-bytes.com/cgi-scrip...icle_284.shtml

There are a couple of ways for you to find out if a font can be used for commercial use or not.
* check to see if a ReadMe file came with the font when you downloaded it. Terms should be listed.
* go into the fonts folder and double click on the font in question. A window will open and will give you any copyright info, including the creators name etc
* type the name of the font or the creators name into a search engine like google and see what comes up.
* type in Font copyright into a search engine and have a look at some of the articles regarding copyright.
* contact the creator of the font directly.

You should check any information yourself as sometimes the fonts are offered for download with the Terms of Use removed or the site may be erroneous in describing the terms of the font. Failing to ascertain the terms of the font may leave you open for legal action.
