How to do that?

That won't work anyways, no matter where the site is hosted. The page won't display any font that is not installed on the viewer's computer. Font displays are dependent on the local font library, not on what the web page code calls out.

Viewers can even block out all fonts other than ones they specify in their browser settings.

So, if you call out font face special123abc (grabbing some name at random), and I don't have that font installed on my PC, I will see the page in Tahoma or whatever my default font is.

Unfortunately you have wasted both your time and mine because you are posting to the wrong support forum. We do not provide support for local installs of wordpress.org software here at wordpress.com. You must post to http://wordpress.org/support/

http://techtoll.wordpress.com/
If so, the answer is you can't use those fonts.

If not, then and your are referring to a WordPress.org install then you are posting to the wrong support forum and should be post here instead http://wordpress.org/support/
