For doing some titles and intro stuff there's a few fonts I want to use ( Bucket o'blood From Blambot and framistat ComiCraft ) But they don't show up on the dialog box where the text is typed in and font chosen.
Is this a limitation on Moho or something else? I have a mixture of Postscript, Truetype and OpenType fonts and haven't had a problem.
Using Moho 5.3, Mac OS X 10.3.9. Using the font management tool that came with the current OS -- Fontbook.
TIA

Hello Mike,
another Mac user posted something about this a little while ago. I can't remember the exact details, but apprently Macs can store their fonts in 3 different location, but Moho only references one of those locations. Find where all your other standard fonts are hiding, and copy your extra fonts into the same folder.
Regards, Myles.

Thanks myles!!
The path is : [startup disk]/library/fonts/[your font here]
Not the system font folder, the User's library/font folder, or any other folder that Fontbook (or suitcase, I assume) allows you to put the font into.
I put the fonts in the above library/fonts path and now I have Framistat from within Moho.

Holy crap! That is why my fonts were acting weird...
... learn something new everyday.
I had a slight... problem when the power flicked off and on for a split second. Nothing shut down... the computer stayed on... but... apparently it did something to my system files and I had to reinstall my fonts and reset some system stuff.
After reinstalling my fonts a bunch of them that I THOUGHT were installed properly never showed up in my applications... so I did a brute force attack and copied ALL the fonts to ALL the font folders I could find. Probably not the best solution... but it worked.
I think the split second power shut down must have corrupted some of my system files... I need a new UPS... I think my old one has given up the ghost.
