i apologize about the cross posting, but I just now found this part of the forum, so here goes. . .
I have some fonts in my System Library, that do not show up in my Font Book? I try the Add Fonts, but to no avail. I would like to have the fonts available.
Any suggestions?

And if you are putting anything into /System, then you are playing with fire. Anything you (or a non-Apple installer) should add should go into /Library/.

Oh, I assumed he meant /Library. If you are putting them in /System/Library, that's not the right place. I'm not sure if they're even supposed to be dynamically loaded from there.

Follow it religiously, chuckit is right, messing around with System fonts is a good way to hose your OS. You may decide to do an Archive & Install to fix it. That's what I did after wasting hours of time!

Linotype's FontExplorer X does a good job of cleaning out unwanted fonts on the system then giving you a decent interface to manage your fonts in the future and it's free.
