A client/server architecture generates in the server a document with a specific font. Does need the client to install the same font to see the document?
The document can be accessed through a desktop client application and web browsers(cient)

@RobConklin I do not need the way of use a font in my application, this is a general question, in particular I want to know if I'm a client of a website I am not so sure that I need to install a particular font to see the website, I am asking if this is the same when I download a document from a website and I do not have installed the fonts – Zinov Aug 19 '14 at 18:01

What kind of "document" are we talking here? Are you talking a Word document? Or a HTML Document? Or a PDF document? These all have different solution spaces. Word & PDF have methods to embed fonts in the document itself. HTML needs to use the method above to download the font for that rendering. – Rob Conklin Aug 19 '14 at 18:19

@RobConklin Sorry for not being specific. It is a pdf document. – Zinov Aug 19 '14 at 18:24

http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/fonts The actual mechanics of getting the fonts embedded will vary based on what tools/libraries you are using. – Rob Conklin Aug 19 '14 at 18:39

@RobConklin Thanks, pdf can embed fonts and they will have a bigger size than normally pdf. So, the client don´t need to install the same font as the server to see the document correctly – Zinov Aug 19 '14 at 18:47
