Hmmm, the dfont files are Apple's data-fork-only font file. I'm not  
sure these are 1-1 compatible with Windows TrueType fonts.

Remember, after you've defined the font, you also need to apply it in  
the stylesheets. Here's an example where I'm applying an OCR font to  
verbatim elements using a customization layer:

     <xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.verbatim.properties"
         use-attribute-sets="verbatim.properties monospace.properties">
         <xsl:attribute name="font-family">OCRAStd</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="font-size">55%</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">no-wrap</xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:attribute-set>
