How to deal with displaying Windows fonts in linux

Hi everybody! I work as a layout designer and have been sitting on windows all my life, but at my work, on some computers that managers sit at, there is linux, which does not have such a font as Tahoma, the layout always flies a little from this. The same with the Calibri font and other standard windows fonts.
What to do in this situation? Connect font via css? Yes, if the managers abut with a horn, then I connect (through a generator), but this is stupid. Googled font families, but it didn't help me much. I didn't find a clear answer. Maybe there is some technique to deal with this problem. It will also be interesting to know the same problem with OSX, if it exists.

It is necessary to prescribe in css not one font, but a font
stack Cyrillic
font-family: Tahoma, "Geneva CY", sans-serif;
NOT Cyrillic
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;
ps google not topic save css fonts stack

@Synoptic , can you argue such a bold statement about the fault of linux and users?
PS:
If suddenly some "real layout designer" decided to nail the layout of his site to Windows fonts, then he (the real layout designer) has the right to expect that his (real layout designer) craft will be crookedly displayed on other fonts other than soft crap operating systems.
PS2: Use free fonts.

And what prevents you from copying the entire folder with fonts from Windows to your machine and installing all the fonts into the system. My problem was that the fonts from my windows office turned into something clumsy when I opened the documents sent. Now everything is fine, an example of actions , all fonts have risen as native ones, and yet, in KDE (TDE), for example, you can install all fonts from a given directory into the system using DE tools, I think in GNOME, etc. surely there is something like that. Try it, there is no need to complicate everything)
