There are thousands of fonts that can be found that can be installed on 
Windows, Linux, and MacOSX, the exact font and not worry about an 
equivalents.  The key would be dealing with fonts that are already 
installed by others, so they do not need to install a new one.

Here is a free site
http://www.1001freefonts.com/ <http://www.1001freefonts.com/>
They show Windows and Mac downloads, but both are TTF font formats.

So if MacOSX used TTF fonts, then the same font file can be used for 
Windows, Linux, and MacOSX.
