Do they print? How do "exported" PDFs look when opened in other
apps? On other platforms? Even with OOo 2 I was able to work
with cff fonts; the resulting docs just wouldn't save or print
correctly.
The bug I referenced was about embedding cff fonts into generated
documents. If everything does work on Macs, then OOo must use the
system libs there to the heavy lifting. (Not an unlikely scenario.)
On X11 platforms OOo generates PostScript or PDF for printing; that
is where it was unable to support cff fonts. And will continue to
be unable to support cff fonts until version 3.2 is released.
