They can be.

If you make sure that you have the EXACT SAME fonts on all
machines, it really doesn't matter whether those fonts are TT or PS.
But that means that if you are going to use the TT version of
Garamond on the PC, you need the TT version on the Mac - NOT the PS
version. You can't mix and match the same font, though you can mix
and match different fonts (ie. TT Garamond vs. PS Cooper Black).
