How to install / use fonts in OS X?

I've downloaded a bunch of .pcf fonts, two .NFNT fonts, and some .bdf fonts.
I read a bit online, saw that fonts go in ~/Libary/Fonts, so I dumped 'em into ~/Library/Fonts, and OS X doesn't recognize or allow me to select any of them from within Terminal.app's font selection panel.
So I read a bit more, found FontBook on the machine, read the help for installing fonts...
"Double-click the icon for the font in the Finder. Font Book opens and displays the font so you can see what the font looks like.
Click Install Font."
I double click the only two fonts (of 30 total) that're associated with fontbook (.NFNT) and fontbook opens....and shows me all the installed fonts. No display of the font I just 'opened', no Install Font option. I try it manually with the + button at the bottom, choose the font...nothing.
Any ideas?

I haven't been posting in the unix/terminal forums
because I already gave up on Terminal.app itself as
a solution after reading page after page of of
results from web searches.
Still, all the stuff you are trying to do is Unix, not OS X proper.
Did you try this from the slashdot link? It tells you where to put your pcf font (not in the OS X Fonts folders) and the commands to make them work.
* Download an ANSI font from here [earthlink.net]
* Place sabvga.pcf in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
* cd to that dir and run "sudo mkfontdir"
* Fire up X11 in your Utilities folder
* Open an Xterm and run "xtern -fn sabvga"
The font source is

How to install Kannada font in blackberry 10OS

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to install Kannada font in blackberry 10OS??

Hello,
Are you merely looking for a font? Or do you want to interact with the device in that language? I cannot quite tell from your words. Nevertheless, refer:
Article ID: KB33755 Supported languages on BlackBerry 10
If you do not see your desired language in that KB nor on the device Settings screen, then it's not available.
Good luck!

There are already two Bengali fonts in iOS. You can see them on the list, named Bangla.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5484
These are of course for standard Unicode support. You can read this site, can't you?
http://www.bangladesh.gov.bd/index.php?lang=bn
You can't add the non-standard fonts required for non-Unicode sites.
For a keyboard, you would have to check the app store for something like Bangla Keyboard to use with copy/paste.

Your iPad and iPhone should already have Tamil fonts. Can you really not see a web page like this one?
http://ta.wikipedia.org/
There is however no keyboard yet. If that is what you are talking about, search the app store for "tamil" to see if there is a keyboard app which might be useful for some purposes. Also try the Keyman app.
You can ask Apple for a Tamil keyboard via

OS X already comes with Gujarati fonts, so you don't need to install anything. Can you not read this page?
http://www.gujaratsamachar.com/
If you want to type Gujarati, you need to go to system preferences/international/input sources and check the box for Gujarati, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then select Gujarati from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type. To see which key does what, select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu.
I recommend you do NOT install Gujarati fonts from the internet, because OS X only works right with those provided by Apple. Especially avoid non-Unicode fonts from long ago like Saumil. The international standard is Unicode now.

How to install euro font ....

Hi All
I am facing a problem the details are like this.
1. Solaris version 5.8 (spark, SUNW, Sun-Fire-V250)
2. We are unable to insert Euro character in our Sw tool. When inserted a Euro character (? Symbol comes) the same happens when a document is ported from windows to Solaris with Euro Characters.
3 we are unable to see Euro characters in other tools of Solaris also..
4. In the Support Team gave a hint to Install ISO-8859-15 font to support Euro character.
5. We would appreciate if any one suggest us,
(i) How to install this Font (ISO-8859-15) support to See Euro Characters in out Tools.
(ii). Is the same problem exists in Solaris 9 as well..?
(iii) Will any Advanced Star office (Suit 7) installation rectify this problem..?
Thnaks

Could any one is able to install ISO-8859-15 support
from any of the SOlaris 9 or 10 patches..?The ISO-8859-15 locale support isn't supposed to come from
installing patches to the OS, it should be part of the base Solaris
installation.
Make sure that you have packages like this installed (you
should find them on one of the "1 of X" CDs):
% pkginfo|grep i15
system SUNWi15cs X11 ISO8859-15 Codeset Support
system SUNWi15rf X11 ISO-8859-15 required fonts

How to install new fonts using code in java?

Hi,
How to install font in a system using java, provided i know the font file's address. Is there any specific class/method available for this purpose? Copying the file to windows/font directory will work for windows, but I think it wont be generic to all operating system. So is there anyway to install a font using code?
I also want to know how to make the font available only until my application window is open, It must be available to all other external applications like photoshop, word etc., When I close my window it must un-install automatically or be made not available to other applications. Any suggestions? Please do help! Thanks in advance...

I have already tried the above, But the font created using input stream is available only to my application* and is not viewable in photoshop.*. I realize this. Like I said, I know of no method that will register/deregister the font with the system. You'll have to create your own method that takes the operating system into account.
String os = System.getPropery("os.name");
if(os.equals("Windows Vista")) {
}else if(os.equals("Windows XP")) {
}else if(os.equals("Windows NT")) {
}else if(os.equals("Solaris")) {

Windows Vista
Windows XPYou'll need the standard font directory for each system. I think all the window ones are C:\Windows\Font\ . Each OS probably has its own little quark (like having several font directories or throwing different security exceptions). Undoubtly it's going to require some research and a bit of trial and error. You can probably work some magic with Runtime.exec(...) as well.
The alternative would be to google for some libraries that offer similar functionality, or promt the user for the system's font directory and save the location of the directory in a file somewhere for future use (so the user dosen't have to specify the font directory everytime he/she starts up the application).

Question: how to install new fonts in Premiere on Mac

Someone, please tell me how to add new fonts in Adobe Premiere!
I use MacBookPro with OS X Lion.
As trying to add fonts reffering to the previous discussion like http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379742 ,
I realized that it was unavailable because I cound not see "Install New Font" in "Window".
Is there a good way to solve this problem?

In Mac OS X, double-clicking on a font file (i.e PostScript, Font Suitcase etc.) should launch the Font Book application, that window will have a Install Font button. You may have to Quit PrP and re-open for font to be available.

How to install MICR fonts for R1 check Printing.

I saw several messages on the MICR.
Anyone used BI Publisher 10.1.3 and still sucessfully uised metalink Note:373377.1?
I am using BI 10.1.3..What are the steps I need to follow?I followed the same from the Note:373377.1,Still no success..
Is that true that in case of BI publisher, i heard that BI publisher is stand alone.(It is not like XML publisher as the databse is not embedded) the fonts needed to be installed at server level..
How true is this?Can anyone please help on this?
thanks
prasanna

Using MICR in XMLP is like using any other special font (i.e. barcode). Please see below some link on how to have the fonts(MICR) working on your templates. Also, you could buy fonts but may want to try first on the MICR font shipped with the BI Publisher Desktop (i.e. C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts).

Can't remember how to install a font

I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8. I can't remember where to put new fonts and/or how to install them in Photoshop. I've been searching the web and have found no useful info! I downloaded the new fonts to Library/Fonts, but that's obviously not the main place to keep them so Photoshop can find them. Where should they be, and do I have to do something special to install them in Photoshop? (I have Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.1)

Installing new fonts is very easy. All you need to do is:
Double-click on the font.ttf file
Click on “Install Font”
When you double click on a font file, other than being able to install it, you’ll also see a font character preview showing the font face. This window will also let you preview any stylized versions (bold, italic, etc) of the font that are available and tell you if it’s installed or not. This is done through the Font Book app, which can also be launched separately to manage your typefaces.
