Type faces won't eliminate cross platform issues...font format will. Use 
opentype fonts and there won't be an issue.

It's also worth noting that, licensing issues aside, Windows truetype 
fonts will work in OSX and Windows Type 1 fonts can be placed in a 
private Adobe fonts folder and will be recognized by Adobe apps on the Mac.

But I would highly encourage you to use PDF to avoid all of the other 
problems that can arise by sending native files.
