Fonts from iWorks or Adobe CS3?

We're running Creator 8 on a mix of PowerPCs and Intel Macs, and  
MacOS X 10.4.11. I recently upgraded a license of Photoshop 7 to the  
basic Design Creative Suite 3 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro,  
InDesign). I'm planning on upgrading our other 2 PS 7 licenses to the  
same CS3 suite.

The CS3 installer offers to install extra fonts. Also, the latest  
version of iWorks offers to install fonts as well, and also  
FileMaker, which we use for our ad run sheet. Are the fonts with  
these packages OK to use with Creator 8? We have a CD with a bunch of  
Bitstream Fonts - Type 1 PostScript, that we have a company wide site  
license for, and we manage those with the latest version of Font  
Agent Pro, and those seem to do will reliability wise (both computer/ 
application stability and reliable final PDF and document printing).  
I've heard that some/most/all of those fonts included with these  
applications mentioned are OpenType and there has been some issues  
with Creator and them, but thought I'd double check.
