To which folder did you add the files? It seems like the fontconfig configuration only checks the global system folders, such as /Library/Fonts but not the user-specific path in your home at ~/Library/Fonts by default. To add ~/Library/Fonts to the paths being scanned, I added a symlink on my system as a workaround: mkdir ~/.fonts ln -s ~/Library/Fonts .fonts/user fc-cache -fv This last fc-cache command forces a re-index of the fonts and displays which paths are being scanned. An alternative would be to add the ~/Library/Fonts path to /opt/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf directly. Ryan, do you think ~/Library/Fonts would be a sensible default in the same way fontconfig already scans ~/.fonts?
