Hi Guy,

I use lots of OpenType Fonts (.otf files)) in LibreOffice on my Debian
system. Never had any trouble with them at all. I figure you shouldn't
have a problem under Windows either, but I can't verify that for you as
I don't have that OS at hand.
I am sorry. You were asking about Mac. Should have read better.

The code to support those typefaces apparently is available in
LibreOffice, so I don't expect any trouble coming from that angle.
However I know just about nothing about Mac, so I don't know if that
platform supports OTF at all. I guess it should, because Adobe has
always targetted that platform as one of their main markets.

If you contact me off the list, I can send you a OTF font and you can try it on your Mac. I have over 100,000 fonts in my collection and many of them are OTF. As I said before, I do have a complete[?] Adobe font library from before 2006. I have Adobe fonts in OTF and TTF formats.

I tend to use TTF if I have a font in both format styles. But that is a choice and not a requirement. I have so many fonts, I can use a non-Adobe version that looks 99.9% like the Adobe version. This way, if I need to deal with passing documents to others for shared editing duties, I can pass on the font file as well. You should not do that with Adobe's licenses.

So, contact me at webmaster@krackedpress.com off the list and I can attach an OTF font to the reply so you can test out if Mac has a problem with OTF. If you know of a non-Adobe font you want to try, I may have it in ODF format.
