Certainly, on Macs I know I can copy the file to the Fonts folder, but then one generally needs to relaunch the application to gain access to the font. I was just looking for a more userly-transparent way to provide — possibly only temporary — access to a font that I am really attached to using but which I can't assume will be present on host computers. The other downside to copying files to people's Fonts folders is that it seems a tad intrusive, although I suppose other applications do such things all the time. Dynamic, temporary access to special fonts was what I was looking for ... oh, well.

Uh, Jerry, take a look at your path. That's an OS X path being used for a
command that only works on Windows.
Additionally, any external that ends in ".dll" is WIndows only; externals
for Mac usually end in ".bundle".
Soooooo, if you want to try loading fonts on Windows, use ext_loadFont with
a windows path (like "C:/Documents and Settings/All
Users/Desktop/KillerStumps.ttf"). As to loading fonts on OS X, I would
assume you can just copy the file to the proper Fonts directory.
