That's weird.
I can edit my files when using a Google Font like Lora, but the fonts I paid for... (With Lora the file shows correctly in my tablet, and the Word app gives no message of limitations. I can edit text normally, and this font is not a MS Word original font nor an Android font).

It is not an Android limitation, as I can add fonts in apps like IbisPaint and Hancom Office and edit text normally with them.

So the limitation on fonts is solely on the Word app. Again, with some fonts (Non-Android/Word fonts) the app works, others it doesn't, randomly I would say.

What is more annoying to me, is that my fonts show normally. The app just won't let me edit with them, as if it were a license problem, not a technical problem.

cindix I agree, it is a limitation of the Word App.  I am not sure if you can provide feedback when on an Android Device, but on a Windows Computer, you can provide feeback via the Feedback item on the Help tab of the ribbon.
