Lennart: it may just take someone poking at it a bit to get it to work; like I said, I don't know what kind of compression they use.

Here's a mini-FAQ I just made, BTW:

Do the Windows fonts allow "installable embedding"? Based on my copy of XP...

Arial v3.00 YES! (note: v2.82 was a corefont)
Arial Black v2.40 NO. (note: v2.35 was a corefont)
Arial Narrow v2.20 YES!
Bookman Old Style v2.20 YES!
Comic Sans MS v2.20 YES! (note: v2.10 was a corefont)
Courier New v2.90 YES! (note: v2.82 was a corefont)
Estrangelo Edessa v1.00 NO.
Franklin Gothic Medium v2.20 NO.
Garamond v2.20 NO.
Gautami v1.21 NO.
Georgia v2.12 YES! (note: v2.05 was a corefont)
Impact v2.37 NO. (note: v2.35 was a corefont)
Kartika v1.06 NO.
Latha v1.21 NO.
Lucida Console v1.60 NO.
Lucida Sans Unicode v2.00 NO.
Mangal v1.20 NO.
Microsoft Sans Serif v1.42 NO.
MV Boli v1.00 NO.
Palatino Linotype v1.40 NO.
Raavi v1.06 NO.
Shruti v1.22 NO.
Sylfaen v1.00 YES!
Symbol v1.60 YES!
Tahoma v3.15 NO.
Times New Roman v3.00 YES! (note: v2.82 was a corefont)
Trebuchet v1.23 NO. (note: v1.22 was a corefont)
Tunga v1.07 NO.
Verdana v2.43 YES! (note: v2.35 was a corefont)
Vrinda v1.03 NO.
Webdings v1.03 YES! (note: v1.03 was a corefont)
Wingdings v2.55 YES!

...and AFAICT, for the XP fonts that do allow installable embedding, there is noting in the "License" field to prevent their installation in a different OS.

Andale Mono was also a corefont, but I didn't see it installed on my system.

The most important fonts to make RTF files for are thus the ones that weren't core fonts (easy install :), but do allow "installable embedding". And of those, just Arial Narrow, Symbol and Wingdings jump out at me as important ones. I'll just whip up a RTF right now :)
