Hello

In options under save there is an option to 'Embed True Type fonts'. If that is checked then the document size is bigger but the fonts will go along with the document.

Oh I'm sorry! I read that completely wrong.

As Mr. Dunk says and you can also just open c:\Windows\Fonts in Explorer and drag and drop the .ttf file into that directory.
