Fonts for web pages come from your visitor's computer. If they don't already have them then they can't see your page in that f0ont.

Simply list several fonts one after the other as a comma separated list in your stylesheet and your visitors will see the page in the first font from the list that they have.

You should probably always include at least, arial (the best-looking 'standard business font'), verdana (a 'made-for-web' font), and either serif, or sans-serif (a generic fall-back when all-else-fails,-this-will-work font).

There is a server-side something or another that allows you to use a font that probably 99.9999% of all computer users do not have locally upon their machine, and it serves-up your desired mystery font directly so when the visitor is viewing your site, they will get the mystery font (be it the STAR WARS font, BLADERUNNER font, etc...) and see it on your site as you intended it.
When they leave of course, they will cease to be able to see that font (like, if they SAVE AS WEB-PAGE COMPLETE will probably not include your default mystery font, but fall-back upon (hopefully, if you were listening), either Arial, Verdana or serif/sans-serif...

I have never done this myself, -but I do know that it can be done.

That uses a proprietary method that will only work on IE sometimes and will break the page for other browsers. The standard way to embed fonts has yet to be implemented by any browser.
