The Mac OS can only read font files that are loose in the system font location it can’t read files inside another folder. Note: Do not move an entire folder containing fonts into the System location. If the fonts only need to be accessible to Carbon/native applications, install into the OS X native environment instead. If you want your fonts to be accessible to both Classic and Carbon/native applications, install your fonts into the Classic environment. If you are running Mac OS X, decide if you want to install fonts into both the Classic environment and the OS X native environment.

Fonts installed in the OS X native environment can be accessed by (a) any user or (b) just by an individual user. However, fonts installed in OS X system locations are not available to “Classic” applications (see section below). Mac OS X has native support for Type 1 and OpenType fonts, which can be installed just like other font type on OS X. The fonts are now installed and will appear in the font menus of your applications. Press the "Add" button to install the fonts.You can click to select one font, Ctrl-click to select several fonts, or Shift-click to select a contiguous group of fonts.
