Embed font?

Is it possible to "embed" a font in a drawing, so that people without that
font can see the drawing as it is supposed to be, and so that people with
the same named font see it as I intend? (I have altered the font appearance
a bit in a font editor).
I know you can send the font with the file, but people are, naturally,
reluctant to install files they know nothing about, or to overwrite their
existing files.
I know you can do it in MS Office files, but AutoCAD?

Thanks.

 

To add to Pauls answer, use Pack-n-Go or Etransmit (depending on the version
of AutoCAD that you are using) to send the fonts with your drawings.

 

So why not re-name the font ?, then they can exist side by side on
your and their computer!
