I don't think you can't do this but it's possible to put a specific font into the X server fonts directory, and doing a font mapping like in this neat tcl-tk application: http://xstick.e-artisan.org/

On Debian and Ubuntu, it'll be very easy to support since the
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font is in the package system. I think that
font is also included in any GNOME install, so that covers most GNU/
Linux users.
The hard part is Windows and Mac OS X. We could require people to
install the font seperately, but I'd rather have it just work out of
the box.

On Windows installing the font with a batch file would be trivial.
If you made some file "Install.bat" it could copy the font to the correct directory, and also run the registry script you currently use, at the same time.

Good point, Pd-extended is already using an installer on Windows, so
it can just install the font in the proper location, %SYSTEMROOT%\Fonts
That leaves Mac OS X, which is tricky since it needs to be inside the
Mac OS X .app package.

Hi,
i got a new job as osx admin (among others) for a while now, and we are using a particular font as "corporate design". so to ease my job for new osx clients, i made a .pkg that installs the fonts to /Library/Fonts. the fonts work rightaway without needing to restart or recache (just like windowsxp)
if you dont want to install fonts to system library (eg. you dont want to use admin rights) you can allso install the fonts to ~/Library/Fonts
but the coolest would be to be able to use the fonts from inside the pd dir, without touching any system configs or dirs. but i dont know if thats possible. (like pdf uses embedded fonts, but i assume that pdf doesnt use the system font render system ?)

I didn't have any time to check that on my work Mac, and also forgot to take the old Pismo with me. (I don't own a Mac)
But i definitely have Bitstream fonts installed on the iMac and i installed X11 from the install DVD. It's then high likely that i got the Bitstream fonts installed from other Open Source Software like Inkscape or Gimp. (Don't remember what other Open Source Software i installed on that machine)
But, what ever. The easiest way (for you and the users) could be what you mentioned. Maybe even with to aliases, for /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts for the user to choose where to drag.
