Will users from other platforms see my website fonts?

The question is simple: I have a website, its default font is Segoe UI normal, and the Segoe UI Light, the site uses only these two. In Windows, the site appeared correctly and without problems, now I have doubts that if they enter through a Chrome (by Android) or a Mac OS X, the source will remain and will not change?

Note: I am using Webacapella 4 to edit my site.

Segoe UI is a unique Windows source. If someone using Linux or Mac opens your site, the default system source will appear.

I recommend you use the Open Sans font, which resembles the Segoe UI font a little and is available on Google Fonts. Just link the CSS.

More information: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans

To use the standard Open Sans and Bold font, simply insert into the HTML code:

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

However, if you really want everyone to see the source Segoe UI independent of the operating system, just enter the source using @font-face. View the CSS of the Microsoft website:

But due to license issues, it seems that only Microsoft websites can incorporate the Segoe UI font.
