You would set the font display through the .css style sheets for the skin/theme you're using. It's been a very long time since I looked at this but if my memory serves me correctly the user needs to have that font installed on their computer in order to see it properly on a web page.

I am not sure that you can simply upload any font as there may well be licensing issues however if you look at the darknight skin you will see it uses "webfonts" - typically there are 4 formats to deal with the varying support for webfonts of differnent browsers  (sigh).

The darknight skin shows the css usage - typically you import a fonts.css into your skins main css file.

The best place to get webfonts is to use http://www.google.com/webfonts 
These fonts come in ttf file format so you will need to find a utility to convert to .svg, .eot, .woff 
http://www.font2web.com/  Supply a conversion utility - I also used a website service once too.

Note that in my experience I have not yet been able to make an svg type that is not a silly size.

Be careful of using too many webfonts as they all have to be downloaded so page load time go up.

Hope thhis helps

Ian
