It's a good idea, but two warnings: 1.) Acrobat doesn't always embed fonts.
If a font does not mark the font embedding permissions, Acrobat 4.0 will not
embed the font; nor will it embed the font if there are restrictions from
embedding it.  2.) If the Mac font uses control characters that can't be
used as characters in Word, there will be problems, even in the PDF (because
the PDF merely embeds the font).
