You should be able to just select them all and open them and be able to click Install Font on the window that pops up; or double click each one individually and then Install Font. Generally any errors are due to a corrupted font or a font that is deficient in some way than incompatibilities. Vicky |

Just get the font to the Mac and double click it. A preview window pops up with an Install Font button. Click it. Ta-da. If you insist on manual installation: /Library/Fonts for all users of your Mac to be able to access it ~/Library/Fonts for only your user account to have access to the font / is usually Macintosh HD ~/ is usually Macintosh HD, then Users, and your user account's name; in that you will find a Library folder.

“invincible ignorance” is an example of ignorance that can not be removed by any amount of evidence. It's now a widespread form of pollution. (Revised quote) An apple a day, keeps the psychiatrist away.. If you play a Windows install CD backwards it has satanic verses |

A better alternative to manage fonts is Linotype's font explorer. Just create a fonts folder in your documents folder, drag all your fonts in. Font Explorer is free, has a cool itunes like interface and doesn't tell Linotype about which fonts you have in your library. |
