I don’t know, I’m not an expert on this. FontBook won’t copy them, but what happens if Lua/XeLaTeX embed the font?

Actually I was responding on a general level. Although I have not done what you suggest, I am sure it must work. I just don’t have a pressing need to do it, because my use of MicrosoftWord and related stuff is strictly limited to Uni administration tasks—though I admit I find the track changes feature pretty useful.

I tried XeLaTeX, also within TeXShop, and got the same message. Following other suggestions, I looked at the folder Library -> Fonts, and it seems to be empty. I use a Mac, not a PC, but I assumed that this font had been installed. How does one go about installing it?
