If you're talking about rendering text in povray using .ttf files, it should
be the same for all systems. I use Mac OS X, and I just copied all the font
files I wanted to use from the C:Windows/Fonts folder onto my Mac and
referenced them as "xxx.ttf" as I would under Windows. I don't think the
filename matters, so it would probably work fine even without the ttf
extension. I'm sure others can confirm/refute this... :)

(I never thought to look for the Mac fonts... I don't even know how they're
encoded...)
