Hi there: I'm afraid I still don't really get the way fonts work in Jaguar. I dragged all the ones I have into the main Fonts folder but only some of them seem to appear in Word or whatever, though they are all listed when I look in the folder itself. In the (rather brief) Fonts section of David Pogue's Missing Manual for Jaguar, he doesn't really seem to say why this is...but I infer that the bitmapped ones I have just won't be available to me anymore?
The October issue of MacAddict has a good article explaining fonts. It's talking about Tiger, but the way fonts are handled in Jag are the same.
OS X ONLY uses: Truetype, Opentype and Postscript Type 1 fonts. If you have old bitmap fonts, they'll work in Classic but not OS X.
