The user must download the fonts to use them1) It's against the law to post a copyrighted font.

2) You need some sot of web embedding font tool. See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm .

There are proprietary and incompatible ways of embedding fonts for Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer that will totally stuff up the page when a different browser is used. There is also the standard way provided by CSS2 that is not yet supported by any mainstream web browser. Best solution currently is to offer the font as a download and use a list of fonts so that if they don't already have or download your first choice of font that the page displays in your second choice of font (assuming that they don't override the fonts on all web pages to use their choice of font).
