Not really. The problem is that different platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, etc.) have their own sets of fonts. The other part of the problem is that the website tells the member's internet browser what font to use, so the font has to be on the member's computer.
From the point of view of your question, the only way to guarantee font compatibility would be to make each of the fonts that are optional on your message board be downloadable from your site. However, you then have to deal with legal and licensing issues, as they are not all free. My preferred font, for example, is Palatino Linotype, which is part of the standard font options available in vBulletin. This font is copyright Microsoft and has been included with Windows since either ME or 2000. I don't think you can legally distribute it.
