That's a really good point. (I've never actually met anyone running OS X who doesn't have Office, but you're right -- I'm sure they're out there.)
That's the reason for CSS fallback fonts. For example, Verdana is much more readable than Arial because it's specifically designed for screen display. You put it first in the font declaration so that people who have it installed (everyone on Windows, and a high proportion of Mac users) can take advantage of the improved readability.
But what I was actually proposing was sticking the Mac-only 'Lucida Grande' absolutely first, so the Mac folks get the font they want. And since the Windows people are pretty much guaranteed not to have it, we don't have to worry about the goofy ClearType issues.
