If I could jump in here, now that Manuel's got the TT font, can't he put that into his System Folder and then use Jonathan's XeTeX or XeLaTeX just as I use e.g. BrushScript or any other system font? I double click on it, up pops FontBook, and asks if I want to install the font. I say "Yes", and then I can use the font in XeTeX, with the fontspec package? 

Apologies for not knowing very much about this stuff.
