I haven't seen anything font-specific on OS X yet, but there is a book called something like "The Unwritten Manual" for OS X. I think it's by David Pogue, who is a very good Mac book writer. Did you check the Peachpit website? I would think someone would have written a book on this by now. Also check with Apple's site.
I am in the process of converting (mostly) from QuarkXPress to InDesign and the fonts are definitely an issue. Still don't know enough. If all your software runs on OS X, I think you can put all the fonts in one place: Computer>Library>Fonts.
But if you are still running some Classic apps, it seems that you have to have the fonts in the System 9 fonts folder (inside the OS 9 system folder) for the application to recognize them.
I just loaded a bunch of fonts from my old computer to the new one runnning OS X and it took a while to sort it out. Plus sometimes it seems as if the OS X app doesn't recognize the font. Font names continue to be a problem.
I know this isn't much, but I hope it helps!
Best,
Noel
