Online fonts such as Typekit, which is part of the Custom Design Upgrade, are served to a visitor's browser directly from servers on the internet and then everyone can see the font.

You can't upload fonts the way you can images. You might be able to use the Typekit Fonts if it's in there: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/
