If you're just putting font names found on your machine into the CSS of a page, they'll work locally, but fail when uploaded and viewed by devices that don't have those fonts installed.

 

You need to use fonts that are installed in most devices, called "web safe fonts" (very limited) or use CSS fonts that use a link to hosted font files either on your server or a third party server like Google.com/fonts (many, many more options)
