Hi DougsGirl,
I also have a MAC. But had some trouble with fonts as well recently. I do have MS Word though. Here are my 2cents...
1 cent:
After you unzip the file and locate the font you want, make sure to move it to the correct folder. It has to be the folder for fonts that your app will recognize. On my mac, I found two different places for fonts...only one of them was the correct folder.
2nd cent:
Save $150 and find a friend of yours who has Word. Save the file information you need (including the font file) to a flash drive, or CD, or other storage media...and take it to their place and reopen.
Cheers
