Here are URLs for a number of downloadable TrueType chess fonts.
The first one below is definitely in Mac format. 

http://nobi.inf.ethz.ch/febi/smart_chess/smart_chess.html

If you want something really complete, however, the thing to get
is one or more of the commercial Alpine fonts. Their Web site is:

http://wave.park.wy.us/~alpine/main.html

Each font family includes chess pieces, several border
styles (including algebraic row/column codes), all Informant and
NIC annotation symbols and more. 

Many books, magazines and newsletters use the Alpine fonts.

I bought all three Alpine font families 
(they are not too expensive).
