    Depends on 10001fonts.com what the license is on the font if its all right reserved you cant publish it anywhere, if he allows you to use it for non commercial you cant or anyone else cant be making money from it including if you uploaded it to a website with adverts. if he allows commercial use of the font then you can use it to make money. depending on the license its possible you could be breaking the law.

you can, if you bought the font. most free fonts can be used in commercial purposes, as long as you don't sell the font file itself.

If you use a font "as" or "part of" an illustration you should be able to sell the art without violating copyright. The Love Sculpture by Robert Indiana would be the most famous example. He didn't design the font Clarendon, he just made creative use of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVE_(sculpture) License agreements refer to selling the font, not your creative use of it. For example, a creator may restrict free downloads of their fonts for personal use but require you to pay for it if you use it for commercial purposes like an ad. You cannot buy the font then turn around and sell the font. Or it may be the creator would like you to credit him/her in some fashion. Read the agreement that comes with the font.
