Installed fonts transferred to another PC?

Hello everyone!
Actually, I have installed several Word fonts on my computer.
I created my Word folder but I won't be printing it at home. I will save the Word document to a floppy disk and then print it on another PC (knowing that this PC won't have the font installed).
So I would like to know if when I print on the other PC, my font will be changed?
Maybe saving it with the font will keep the font, but I have no idea about that. :??:

Thank you in advance for your help.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    Good evening,

    The best thing is to configure the Word options to save the fonts used in the document. Go to the Options menu, Recording tab, and check the box "Embed TrueType fonts". In this option, you also have the choice to "embed only the characters used" and/or "do not embed common system fonts". Be careful, the file size of the Word document will be affected and can double.

    Hello,
    If your font is not installed on your other PC, it will not be printed. You need to go to WINDOWS -> FONTS to copy the file(s) related to your font and then copy them to the same folder on your other PC. Additionally, there are utilities (like Suitcase) that allow you to manage your fonts, enabling you to activate or deactivate them.
