Are you asking if there is one font that is installed on most Windows, 
MacOSX, and Linux OS installs?  Or are you asking if there is a font set 
that can be installed on them?

If the first, then not likely, since Windows changes it default 
installed fonts for every version and last I knew MAC did not have the 
same font names as Windows.

Not if you want to install a font on Windows, MacOSX, and Linux, well 
that is different.  I do not know if MacOSX will install TTF fonts, or 
OTF type, but I know that there are font sites where you can find fonts 
listing both MAC and Windows versions.  Linux should be able to install 
TTF and OTF fonts like Windows, at least my Ubuntu/Linux does.

So, all you have to do is find a font that works on MAC and Windows, and 
it should work for Linux.  Then you just install them on all three 
platforms.

Well, that said, there is a harder way.
Go through all of the documentation on which fonts are installed with 
which versions of Windows and MAC. Then look at  chart that list which 
fonts on MAC are the same as the ones on Windows, but have different 
names of the MAC system.  Then go from there.

I do not have MAC, but I have a core set of fonts that I make sure are 
installed on my Windows andLinux systems.

THEN, if I need to send documents out to others, I embed the fonts in 
those documents. Most PDF printer drivers, like CUPS-PDF [Linux] and 
doPDF [Windows] will embed the fonts used into the file so the viewer of 
the document will see it the way you wanted it to be.

The problem really is not with your systems, but what others have 
installedon there.  If you want your document to work on their systems, 
with the same font and such, you must embed the fonts in their documents.

LO, well their PDF exportation system was working on embedding all the 
fonts, instead of just some.  I do not know how far along it is but it 
is not the easiest thing to do.
