When you transfer a file from one machine to another, such as taking an assignment from your Mac at home to the one at school, it's important that you have the same fonts available to the file on both machines. It may not matter if your file is just straight text ... but if you have any special formatting you've worked hard on, it can splatter all over the page if the font you used at home is different from the one on your school (or office) machine.
The simplest way to accomplish this is to get permission to copy the fonts which are available on the school or office machine, and take them home to your own machine. Use only those fonts for files you intend to transport.
