You first need to add the font to your system.

At the end of this link you'll find detailed instructions for installing fonts in every WinOS:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/users.htm

Then you need to edit the font list in the Dreamweaver's font selection dropdown-list in the properties area, to do this you select the last item of the list "Edit font list..." or select the same from the FONT option in the TEXT menu.

Be careful when you use special fonts in a web page, cause if the users (viewers of your web page) doesn't have the font installed in their machines they won't be able to see it.

Best regards,
