How to install / use fonts in OS X?
I've downloaded a bunch of .pcf fonts, two .NFNT fonts, and some .bdf fonts.
I read a bit online, saw that fonts go in ~/Libary/Fonts, so I dumped 'em into ~/Library/Fonts, and OS X doesn't recognize or allow me to select any of them from within Terminal.app's font selection panel.
So I read a bit more, found FontBook on the machine, read the help for installing fonts...
"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."
I double click the only two fonts (of 30 total) that're associated with fontbook (.NFNT) and fontbook opens....and shows me all the installed fonts. No display of the font I just 'opened', no Install Font option. I try it manually with the + button at the bottom, choose the font...nothing.
Any ideas?
