As far as I know, the font is a commerical font. Unless you purchase it, you can't use it. If memory serves me right, it is an Adobe font.

There are four places fonts are stored in Mac OS X. The two you mentioned and

Fonts required by Mac OS X to startup:
/System/Library/Fonts

For Mac OS 9/Classic:
/System Folder/Fonts

Fonts could be stored in any one of those four locations.

I searched for "Myriad" using Spotlight, and the search results contained many font variations of Myriad. I choose one and clicked Install. However, I am not able to use this font I installed in Word. I am able to use this font in Pages though. Any ideas?

The fonts are hidden away in the Library folders somewhere I think. Not sure where though...

There are two places where fonts are stored

So all users can see fonts
/Library/Fonts

So only individual users can see them
~/Library/Fonts

(~ = your home directory)
