If I install a font and use it in my game will others be able to see it when it's used or will they as-well need to download it?

You will need to package the font with the game which may or may not be illegal, because fonts are usually jealously licensed.

There are a number of ways to package fonts with your game. If you need the font to show up in the browser in DS, you'll need to generate a EOT version of the font and create a CSS style for it. Font-squirrel will help you do this.

Using an eot format font in IE, for example:

@font-face {font-family:'munro_narrowregular';src:url('munronarrow-webfont.eot');src: url('munronarrow-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype');font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;}


Unfortunately, for the web client it gets much, much harder. Every individual browser has their own font rules and formats and it's just a complete mess.

When in doubt, use fontsquirrel.com.
