I'm not too familiar with this whole process, so bear with me.

I am looking to convince the boss to buy a font for the company to use on official documents etc. I understand that I can buy a typeface for myself, but how would this work with for a whole company i.e. Many users using this font.

I'm mainly concerned about the legal issues like licences. Are certain typefaces restricted to a number of users for example.

Personally I have never actually bought a font ever but own a couple of pricey ones I "acquired" from here and there. Cheers for any advice.

You have to be honest about it and buy a licence (not the font itself!) for as many machines in the office that the font will be used on. Say three machines. And the printer should also have his own copy of the font too. It's common practice - and illegal - to send a copy of the font file to the printer for his machine.
