trying to get my fonts to work...and failing miserably!

[-mich-]

hi there,
can someone help me out? i'm trying to install some new fonts, but i can only get them to work in photoshop. adobe has a handy folder for that.
i also have freehand ten (osx native) but no matter what folder i put the fonts in, i can't open them in freehand.
same thing for quark xpress (classic mode).
it's getting pretty frustrating. hope someone can shed some light on this problem.
thanx

Well, you probably know anyway that, under OS X, fonts belong in /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts.
Perhaps they are specific fonts that only work with Adobe products ? Try using them in AppleWorks or Word...
