Oops. The Summary isn't meant to imply that I think this issue of unfamiliar
fonts, etc. is silly.  I've been in the situation, too, and it is annoying.
So far it hasn't been a problem, although even when I open Apple documents
from apple.com, I get a "font #13 (I think) not installed."  I don't *know*
what font #13 (I thought it was the symbol font, but I don't think so...),
so I don't even know what font I'm missing.

What *I* do when I ship letters/on/disks to my friends who have Macs is 
to use Font DA/Mover and put the fonts I've used in the letter in the
letter file itself, so that when they open up the document, they can see it
in its original font.  It's a bit of extra work, I know, but when I format
my letter to use Garamond-3, and I know for darn sure that my friends don't
have Garamond-3 on their systems, it's not that big a deal.
