You are talking about the .OTF font files - right.
It there any reason you are not using .TTF files?

As for .OTF fonts from Adobe, Avenir 45 Book and Stone Sans;

   I went to my Adobe collection extracted one fonts from those names
   and installed then on my Ubuntu 10.04 system.  Then I looked for
   them in LO.  They showed up and seemed to work fine.

I do not own a Mac, so I cannot say for that OS, but it does show up in 
LO with my system.

I have Adobe fonts that have a file date of 2006, so I do not know if 
Adobe changed anything since then.  I have [I believe] their complete 
font set in my collection.  I have the TTF and OTF fonts stored in 
different zipped files.  TTF - 191 MB zipped file, and OTF - 137 MB 
zipped file.
