Greg, You might want to read up a bit more on how fonts are used on the web. If you declare specific fonts to be used in your CSS, it only tells the browser to try and use it. If the person browsing the site/application doesn't have the font specific installed on their application, then they it'll default to a font it does have. Here is some information that explains it.
