How to transfer fonts from leopard to lion?

Maybe this is more of a old computer to a new computer, but here is my situation.

I have an 07 Mac Book Pro which has the Leopard software and just got a new iMac which has Lion. I do some design work and notice that fonts like: Century Schoolbook are not in Font Book on my new iMac.

Of course this becomes an issue when I open inDesign or Motion to work on past projects started on my Mac Book.

Is there away to transfer the missing fonts from my Mac Book to my iMac?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

macbookpro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Insert the disc that contains the new font, or copy the font to your hard disk from another location.
Double-click the icon for the font in the Finder. Font Book opens and displays the font so you can see what the font looks like.
Click Install Font.
