: Scrapbook Graphics I have been using Photoshop/Illustrator to design my own graphic scrapbook logos and designs. I create my own styles from tutorials, but I do use the tools & fonts that

You can use a font to create a logo and then convert said logo to paths and that is typically fine. In that scenario you aren't distributing the font itself...you're distributing some shapes based on the font.

If, on the other hand, you are distributing an editable logo--meaning you want to allow the end-user the ability to modify the text using a specific font--then you will have to distribute the font file with your product.

Whether you are allowed to distribute the font file with your commercial project is going to depend on the license you have with the font foundry. Most default licenses do not allow you to redistribute the typeface. You would need to contact the font foundry and ask them what kind of license you'd need (if they offer it) to do what you want to do.

Some exceptions would be open source typefaces. Open source licenses typically grant you the right to redistribute provided you retain attribution/credits with the font file.
