What happens if you use a font in your application and the computer where it
runs finally doesn't have this font installed?

Thank you

Windows will substitute a font based on how much information you've provided
about the font you were trying to use (like whether it's proportional,
serif, etc.). It tries to make a good guess.

Then the client won't see your font.

However, you can package the font up as an embedded resource and have your
program installer install the font as part of the program.
