Apple says not to do this on a Mac either, not since the new Font Manager 
was introduced with System 7.  If you print, it may likely crash your 
system.  It's still a popular practice, but the choice to contradict an 
explicit Apple tech note is at one's own peril (thinking ahead to OS X 
and beyond, where it may not take printing to crash such a scheme).

In my experience, the best way to install fonts is through the normal 
processes established for each OS.  There may be other tricks to doing 
this on Windows, but on Mac all other options are risky at best.
