Could you give more detail on the comicsans package (what is it and  
where is it available from), on the installation instructions you  
followed, and provide a minimal test file?

I would be surprised if the Windows license allowed this. That said,  
on my machine I have a first suitcase Comic Sans MS in ~/Library/ 
Fonts/ which I assume was installed by MS Office, and a second  
identical suitcase in /Library/Fonts/ which I assume was installed by  
iWork.

Thus you might as well have copies already of Comic Sans on your Mac,  
bundled with some piece of software.
