Hello Jeff,

Although my personal experience is somewhat limited in this area, I will pass
on what I have "heard" in this area.  First of all, by the way, I don't know 
the answer to your 'positionality' question; however, you raise a broader 
issue:  namely, how to use files on different 'systems' while keeping certain
fonts that are 'non-standard'.  You were definitely on the right track.  If
I understand you, you tried to install the font in the document file itself.
This is not quite right. Try installing the font (or DA) into the application
itself and not the document.  You can use apple's font mover to do this.  I 
believe that if you hold the option key (or command) while 'opening', the font
mover will list ALL files on the selected drive.  Open MacWrite, for instance,
and copy the needed fonts directly into the application.  I have only 'heard'
that this will work.

GOOD LUCK
