How important is it? If it is very very important, crucial, use a
PDF and make it available via a simple link. If it is important
that you have proper website content, you just have to hope that
people will have the font and make it your first choice in the
font-family css instructions but ensure the site looks acceptable
in other more common fonts. If it is really true (surely not!)
that "these pages rely on the font "Mona Lisa" for every design
element" then this is not a good idea.
