Default Commercial Use of Fonts

Hi - I've recently designed a collection of T-Shirts with original graphics and words, I have used about 7 diferent fonts.
The t-shirts will be sold in asia, I'm just really confused about the copyright issue.

I know that some fonts were free and come with a readme file and I can contact the author.
But what does it mean free commercial font?
Does that meam that I can write something on a T-shirt using their font, along with a design and sellthe T-shirts?
I haven't alterted the font in any way.

Also the usual fonts like Arial etc, how do I get in contact with the author there?

Sorry - I'm SO CONFUSED!

If the 'free' font gives you commercial use, you may use it to create art for sale. If it is free for 'home' or 'personal' use, find a different font to use.

You will have to look for the font info from your PC maker. My guess it the standard font list that came with your PC would be ok to use in art for sale.
