In this case I rename ARIALN.TTF in arialn.ttf, put it into the mkiv standalone, and keep ARIALN.TTF in a separate folder of the project. If someone ask me for the font , I give ARIALN.TTF, but I used arialn.ttf in the pdf. The reason is that I keep separate OS fonts from the fonts of the projects --- I can move the projects in different machines, I can update OS etc. Of course there are also licensing issues to consider, but I consider it a robust way.
