The difference in the fonts is how they are licensed for use. Freeware fonts are free to use, as long as you follow the font maker’s restrictions. Shareware is free to test out, then if you plan to use it, you pay the appropriate license fee for either personal or commercial use. Commercial fonts are fonts that you prepay, and these can be used for personal and commercial use.
