This is sort of a two-part question. Is there any way to specify a second font for a page if the first font isn't installed on the user's computer via CSS, and second, is there any way to get that to override any font information in STYLE tags embedded in an HTML page?

Same as using the [tt]<font face="Bookman, Times Roman, serif">[/tt] tag. It's called [tt]font-family[/tt] in CSS.
e.g.
[tt]{font-family: Bookman, "Times Roman", serif;}[/tt]

and second, is there any way to get that to override any font information in STYLE tags embedded in an HTML page?

As from user side? Sure, plenty of way.
With Mozilla (and the attitude of Mozilla users*), you can simply disable Style Sheet completely, or selectively not follow certain CSS specifications. Simply go to the [tt]chrome[/tt] folder under your profile, and change [tt]userChrome.css[/tt] and [tt]userConetnet.css[/tt].
(If you are doing this for the first time, copy [tt]userChrome-example.css[/tt] and [tt]userConetnet-example.css[/tt] to [tt]userChrome.css[/tt] and [tt]userConetnet.css[/tt], and modify the content.)

(*) (off topic) The attitude of Mozilla users refers to those who choose to block any thing they don't feel happy to see. They want web pages completely ad free. I highly doubt those people would pay for commercial-free TV. And all printed newspaper and magazines are filled with advertisements to cut down the cost. (End of my off topic)

Thanks Antony. I knew about font-family but wasn't sure about how to specify multiple fonts.

Anyway, I mean disabling any STYLE element for font-face via CSS, not via a local file, so that everybody can view it in that manner.

Just don't specify any typeface?
Or just specify [tt]serif[/tt], [tt]sans-serif[/tt]?

OR are you referring to some web space providers that specifies the typeface, and you have no control over it?

What I mean is that I've got pre-existing font-face CSS content up at my website embedded with STYLE tags in my markup, but I'm too lazy to go through all the pages and remove all references to font-face, and instead just want to somehow specify to override font-face CSS markup embedded in the document via a master CSS stylesheet.

Maybe I'm thinking of something that can't be done. Can I somehow, maybe, disable the font-face element through JavaScript (seems more plausible) and then add it to the CSS document, where JavaScript can't disable it?

I just had a quick look about the pages. As for removing each individual STYLE attitude. The easiest way is to use a reasonable powerful text editor(*) (plain text editor, not MS Word) with RegEx (Regular Expression) support. And you can remove all the [tt]STYLE[/tt] attitudes in one search/replace.
Replace [tt]style="[^"]*"[/tt] with (empty) will strip all [tt]STYLE[/tt] attitudes.
(Note: not tested, you will need to check the reference manual of the software you use, some may vary in syntax.)

(*) something like UltraEdit or BBEdit.
