I tried the same thing with MacDraw and no luck. I found that I had to
install the font in MacDraw itself (which I didn't really want to do).
My guess is that if a program's normal document doesn't make use of a
resource fork, it doesn't open it. In the case of MacDraw documents
(at least the one I had) there was no resource fork until I created
one. I've never checked Word documents but I bet they don't have a
resource fork either.
