Font installation problem

Question

Hi
I have problemin installing font.
I used Suitcase X1 for long time and now, after unistall it, when I try to install a font using Font Book, the font is not installed.
When I try to add the font to Font Book using CMD+O often Font Book Crashes (But the font are added to User/Library/Fonts/ )
I used several tools such as Applejack, FontNuke to clean the cache and repair the permissions and prefs but nothing happens.
Is there anybody can help me?
Many thenks.

Try setting Font Book Preferences ...
Open Font Book and choose Font Book > Preferences.
Choose from the following preferences:
Default Install Location: To make the fonts you install available only to you, choose User, which installs fonts in Library/Fonts/ in your home folder. To make fonts available to all the computer’s users, choose Computer, which installs fonts in Library/Fonts/ at the top level of your hard disk.
Validate fonts before installing: Select this checkbox to automatically validate all fonts before they are installed.
Validating fonts
Automatic font activation: Select this checkbox to enable fonts on your computer whenever they are needed by an application, even if you haven’t installed the fonts using Font Book. For example, if someone sends you a document that uses a font you haven’t installed, but the font is in your Documents folder, Font Book will find and enable the font so the document appears correctly.
NOTE: If you turn off Spotlight searching for any folder or any disk connected to your computer, Font Book can't find and enable fonts in those locations.
Ask me before activating: Select this checkbox to have Font Book ask for your permission before automatically enabling a font.
Alert me if system fonts change: Select this checkbox to be alerted before changing any fonts used by Mac OS X to display onscreen text.
