Font Book simply stopped recognizing new fonts. And I don't have a big library, I've only added 2 fonts in the past.

When I go to library >> Fonts, the fonts I add are there; but they just don't show up in my font book or in any application.

I've tried the steps here, Undoing Font Book — but Mac 10.6 does not seem to have that fb.db file. So no luck there.

I've downloaded the free trial of fontexplorerX, but I don't want to pay 80 bucks just to add a handful of fonts I need for work to Pages.

I have no idea what's going on. FB will process new fonts and just have them sit there in a folder without recognizing them.

Safe-restarting (pressing shift) + deleting the preferences file and emptying trash seems to fix the problem.
