Using non-standard fonts on Win and Mac

I am working with a designer now and he is proposing to use a non-standard font type on Win and Mac.

Is this good idea? Do I have to install the fonts during the installation or I can do it within the app, like during startup? most likely both.

What do you think?

    On Windows, applications can have private fonts (for instance embedded in a font resource) but it's a pain.

    Jeroen Wiert Pluimers is that how it used to work with the special characters for e.g. line breaks in the Delphi IDE? Which stopped working on Windows 7/8 after a security update? If yes that's definitely not a good idea.

    Daniela Osterhagen sort of. They could have done this properly, but why bother when you can do it in a more convoluted way...
