Hi, Raymond. Welcome aboard!

Pretty much everything you see on the keyboard is fair game for windows and
macs. Are
all of those characters used up in your font? I'm not a Windows user, but I
think the upper
and lowercase option-letters (minus i, e and u, which indicate accents to be
placed over
the next letter entered) should be safe.

Windows TTFs work in Mac OSX with no problem.

Well, try leaving the characters in the original location as well as the new
location, and
give it a try. I'd be happy to install it on the Mac and try it out if you need
a tester.
