Mac OS X is actually quite good at handling fonts if you know where to stick them. In addition to TrueType and PS-fonts, it also handles .ttf fonts (windows).

There's several places where you can put your fonts, depending on where you need them. your user folder/Library/Fonts is perhaps the most appropriate.

As for an ATM-replacement, there's Suitcase 10.1, which as far as I've tried it well worthy, although it's only advantage I can see over Mac OS X built in handling is the ability to turn on and off fonts at will and place them whereever you want...

Oh yeah... if you want the fonts to be useful in classic applications you need of course to stick them in your OS 9 system folder -> fonts

Activating fonts in Suitcase 10.1 in OS X actually works fine with classic apps. I use Sutcase in X and Illustrator 9 in Classic all day long. Auto-activation even works, if Suicase is open, and you lauch an Illustrator file with unopened fonts.
