Im not having a very nice time at all trying to get fonts to work from within OSX :-(. Ive tried ATM Deluxe and Suitcase latest version - both just refuse to show any fonts within OSX and OSXClassic!

im giving up (untill I get some replies from extensis) BUT I cant even figure out how to get fonts to work without using a third party application! gggrrr... what a pain.

Could somebody tell me where I have to drag fonts so that they will work in OS9 and OSX, surely there is such a place - ive found a fonts folder in my user area and dragged fonts into it, but do they appear in any applications that I open?! nope

I think this is the last of the major problems I have to fix with OSX before I can actually start using the thing constructively

your help will obviously be very much appreciated

P.S: I oppologise if Im repeating other peoples threads :(
 
Sounds like you're using PostScript fonts. If so, there's a trick to using them. Don't put the font folders into your ~/Library/Fonts directory. Open the font folders and stick all the individual font files in there loose.
