OS/X 10.4.11, Mac Word 2004

I've never understood Mac font management well, and especially not as
it's implemented in Mac Word. Here's what is confusing me:

I can open a Word document that was created in Windows, using this mix
of test fonts:

Arnold Boeklin
Tahoma
Verdana
Arial
High Tower Text
Palatino Linotype
Times New Roman

None of these is active in Suitcase. Only Times New Roman and Palatino
(just "Palatino", not Palatino Linotype) even exist in Suitcase. One
of them, High Tower Text, doesn't exist on my Mac at all.

Of these, Arnold Boeklin, Tahoma, and High Tower Text get swapped out
for different fonts. As a test, I can activate Arnold Boeklin and then
restart Word, and that font comes up fine.

But Verdana, Arial, Palatino Linotype, and Times New Roman come up
normally, even though they are not active. How???

This isn't idle speculation -- I have to support mixed environments
among an ever-expanding user base scattered all over the country. I
need to know how fonts are going to behave.
