I'm not really able to test this just now, as the Mac I am using is being slowed down horribly by (ick) Windows running a lengthy process in Virtual PC, but try this:
Inside the "Contents" folder of the application (standalone) bundle, there should be a "Resources" folder; if not, create one.
Inside that "Resources" folder, create a folder called "Fonts", and place the font(s) in that folder.
See if that works. Also, make sure the license for the font allows you to redistribute it in the way you are trying to.

Well, my face is a little red here ... somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that ".dll" files were associated with Windows, but I suppose I let wishful thinking get in the way of processing that information explicitly.
Certainly, on Macs I know I can copy the file to the Fonts folder, but then one generally needs to relaunch the application to gain access to the font. I was just looking for a more userly-transparent way to provide â possibly only temporary â access to a font that I am really attached to using but which I can't assume will be present on host computers. The other downside to copying files to people's Fonts folders is that it seems a tad intrusive, although I suppose other applications do such things all the time. Dynamic, temporary access to special fonts was what I was looking for ... oh, well.

Uh, Jerry, take a look at your path. That's an OS X path being used for a
command that only works on Windows.
Additionally, any external that ends in ".dll" is WIndows only; externals
for Mac usually end in ".bundle".
Soooooo, if you want to try loading fonts on Windows, use ext_loadFont with
a windows path (like "C:/Documents and Settings/All
Users/Desktop/KillerStumps.ttf"). As to loading fonts on OS X, I would
assume you can just copy the file to the proper Fonts directory.
