BTC TW does not come with inbuilt fonts (rightly IMO). It just uses the normal CSS method of a cascade of font-families to ensure there is at least one basic font on the computer that works.
Slightly unusual is that the cascade includes the DejaVu font for both proportional and monospaced fonts. Its good in a way as DejaVu has a very large character set that covers most languages in Unicode well. But few people will have that on their computer so can't benefit without downloading it. For some situations additional WebFonts can help. For most European situations the TW cascade will activate available fonts on computer that should suffice. Get beyond Europe and it is another story.
