I'm not sure how font copyrights work...
If I hand-draw lettering based on a font I found online (to title an illustrated story for publication), Is this against copyright laws? I mean, I'm not actually typing with the actual font, just referencing it as I hand-draw the lettering.
Is doing this any different from, say, drawing a TV cartoon character for spoofing purposes?

If the Font is Copyrighted, don't use it for anything to be published. It is OK to use it for personal work of limited runs, however. If you change the font significantly in such a way as to not be easily recognized from the original, then you can. Best advice: get permission to use the font from the copyrighted source. They probably won't want much. Also, keep a record of all correspondence with them.
