Why don't my fonts show up in my font book when I download them?

I have downloaded a true type font from the internet and when I click on the download button to add it to my font book, it goes through the process like it is adding it, but then it does not show up in my font book. This seems like a very straight forward process. This is my first Mac so I am not familiar with using a font book. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

In Font Book preferences, change the Default Install Location from whatever it is to the other option and try again.
