    I have a specific font that I use in my application, will a user who downloads the program be able to view that font or do they have to download the font as well. If they do have to download it, is there anyway I can package it in the program and do a check to see if they do have it and if not install it without the user having to do anything?

    Is it a standard font? However, if in doubt you should add it to the package. That way the end user will have the font no matter what.

    What font is it? Might have a few more people look into their computer to see if it's a common font already installed on their computer.

    its a custom font, and its a true type

    It's best that you package the font with the exe file for extraction for the application. There is no way that the end user will have the font if it's a custom font.
