I didn't have any time to check that on my work Mac, and also forgot to
take the old Pismo with me. (I don't own a Mac)
But i definitely have Bitstream fonts installed on the iMac and i
installed X11 from the install DVD. It's then high likely that i got the
Bitstream fonts installed from other Open Source Software like Inkscape
or Gimp. (Don't remember what other Open Source Software i installed on
that machine)
But, what ever. The easiest way (for you and the users) could be what
you mentioned. Maybe even with to aliases, for /Library/Fonts and
~/Library/Fonts for the user to choose where to drag.
