[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1008847"] Actually, iWork (along with every other program that accesses a font menu) uses the fonts found in three places: a. System/Fonts b. Library/Fonts c. ~/Library/Fonts Let's ignore System/Fonts completely. Don't go there, don't put anything in there, don't mess with it at all. So, just like the rest of OS X, that leaves two areas: 1. Things that are accessible to all users 2. Things that are only accessible to your user account If you want these new fonts to be "seen" by all users, put them in /Library/Fonts. If you want them to only be available to your account, put them in ~/Library/Fonts. It's best NOT to have apps already running when doing this, or just quit and restart the apps if you did -- then they should "see" the fonts. [/QUOTE]
