After much searching, I found it. Fontbook installs user-installed fonts to a directory that isn't indexed by fontconfig ~/Library/Fonts. After I realised that, I knew to tell fontbook to install my fonts system-wide, apparently, osx doesn't use ~/.fonts/ which fontconfig does index.
Hi James,
Glad everything worked out. I've had to solve this same problem a couple of times under OS X 10.4 myself. The post here ...
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-02/msg00087.html
... basically says "you can copy stuff to ~./fonts" to solve the problem. A better solution is just sym linking, which Han-Wen points out later in the thread.
Since I already have a solution that works for me, the question is pure curiosity, but what's better about sym linking? And is that better than telling fontbook to install fonts system-wide, or better than copying fonts to ~/.fonts/ or both?
