How do I get everyone to see the same font

The following should work for the most part 
<link rel="fontdef" src="morpheus.ttf"/>
<style>
@font-face { font-family: Morpheus; font-style: normal; font-weight: 
normal; src:url(morpheus.ttf); }
</style>
With the above two tags/code in place, NN4+ (via the "link" tag) and 
IE/NN6 (via the @font-family statement) will automatically be able to 
download and display the fonts you've selected. Note that if your user 
has a different font set as the default, this will not override it.
Of course, you'll also have to upload the *.ttf fonts to the server as 
well, so this could potentially cause some copyright issues. Check with 
the creater/distrubitor of the font in question before doing this!
