You shouldn't have had to use fontt book, because on a Mac, your fonts are to be found either in /Library/Fonts or in ~/Library/Fonts. On my MacBook, Lucida Handwriting is located in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft, so it's supposedly provided through some MS application installation. Indeed the font file is 0 bytes, because all the font data is located in the so called data fork of the file. I don't know if this sort of font can be copied to or used on a Linux system, but there should be certain tools which can do that (maybe Apple's own Font Tools, which are a freeware set of tools), without breaking the license rules. You can find basic explanations of the Mac font file formats at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22195.
