I'm not %100 sure, but I believe it means the TrueType font won't be distributed with the game once exported, and since different computer systems may contain different fonts, it might not display properly if the user does not have the font installed.
But, like I said, I'm not %100 sure. The help file doesn't seem to mention this...

for a PC distribution, as long as the font's licence allows you to do so, you can include a copy of the font you're using.
if you want to guarantee a certain font though, your best bet is to make a it into a 'custom' font via IG Maker's font thingy. time-consuming, to be sure, but then your font will always work on any distribution.
