Unless you are using the font as a graphical element (i.e. converting the
font to paths in something like Fireworks and inserting the resulting
GIF/JPEG in Dreamweaver). In that case, install fonts using Control Panel
or its equivalent on the Mac. If you are using a lot of fonts, look at a
font manager like SuitCase, Font Agent, or the Font Thing (free).... so you
don't have to have all your fonts active at any given time.

Cheers,
Sam
