I make graphics on for people on gaiaonline. So can I make graphics for people and use free for personal use only fonts on the graphics?

Depends on the font. For anything from me, yes, you can do that - though I would love for you to hit my paypal tip jar.

Okay lol so it doesn't count as commercial use

No, not by definition. Using fonts to make graphics for others is not the same as using fonts to make graphics for yourself. If what you make for others is then used by those for commercial purposes (even a personal website with Google or so ads on it) it is not personal use anymore. Even if you do not charge for your work. Understand?

The best is to send the question to the author of the font.

Menhir, as many others also this poster takes great care to not to mention the font(s) in question. As a consequence also this question can not be answered properly.

What Koeiekat is trying to say that "Commercial Use" means WHENEVER you're providing work for someone else, regardless if you're requesting or receiving payment. Since you're engaged in a commercial activity for someone else (IE, you're providing them a service with these fonts), you've broken out of 'personal use'.

Each font should have a license, but if you're making something for other people, the font will generally need to be explicitly 'Free'.

... trying to ...

Sorry, I just wanted to indicate that money did not have to change hands. That's something MANY people don't understand. "So long as it's free, I'm not violating copyright!" And we both know that's completely untrue.

Gaia online is a commercial site with payments and many sponsored link. It's not possible to use a font on this site considering it's personnal use.
