browsers works no matter what OS you uses however, but you can;t have like an admin prompt in hey gorgeous while I can have all dialogues and literally every programs except windows one to use it. Like, the programs in linux are made to use the global font so when you change it, it changes EVERYTHING!
But windows.....you can change stuff like the tittle bar of windows or MAYBE the start menu, but it sucks. It doesn't help that I hate the windows font because it';s so boring
You should still install the font because you could still view documents with it and sites if you have the right browser config
