judging from

http://www.nabble.com/Font-searching-t4325461.html

dfont files are collections of TTF files, so you're probably getting 
different fonts (my guess is that Freetype picks up the first one, by 
default).

The post mentions a utility that lets you extract individual TTF files 
from the Mac archives:

I assume it's this tool they're referring to:
