Do I need to embed fonts for use on different computers?

I'm wonder if I use labels or textBoxes with font that I've on my PC but I can't be sure that every user will have it. Different font means different Text size... I mean wide and etc. Pretty hard to do pixel - perfect design. So am I need to embed this fonts into .exe file or what?

Or I've to choose font that I'm 100% sure everyone have?

Here is the MSDN article on how to embed fonts into a WPF application in a variety of ways. If you cannot be sure the font you are using will be available on an end-user machine, use one of the approaches outlined in the article.

You need to add the font as resource and try it like this

Create a folder name Fonts and copy the font which you want and change the BuildAction to Resource

use it like as below 

<Window.Resources>
    <FontFamily x:Key="test" >/Fonts/#Pirulen</FontFamily>
</Window.Resources>


<TextBlock FontSize="25" HorizontalAlignment="Center" 
               FontFamily="{StaticResource test}">data</TextBlock>
