What is the difference between gothic and double-struck?

Gothic, or fraktur, is the ornate blackletter style associated with old-English print and band logos. Double-struck, sometimes called blackboard, uses outlined letters like those used for number sets in maths. Both are offered here so you can pick the look you want.

Is old English the same as gothic here?

Yes, in everyday use. The fraktur style is what most people mean by an old-English or blackletter font, the dense, angular lettering seen on diplomas, newspapers mastheads and metal album covers.

Are these real fonts, and will they work everywhere?

They are not font files. Each style is made of real Unicode characters that look like a styled font, which is why you can copy them and paste them straight into a bio, post or message without installing anything. Because they are normal characters, they show up in most apps and on most devices. A few places that strip formatting, and some older phones, may show plain boxes for the rarer styles, so it is worth pasting a sample where you plan to use it.
