Mac OS 10: New Fonts not appearing in Inkscape font list

It was a question at first... I kept doing the research... and finally came up with the solution. It's posted here for anyone to bump into should they ask the same thing. :-)

i've installed inkscape 0.46 on my new macbook pro, and into the library of my mac there is installed a font Zoetrope-BRK, a TrueType font; but wen i try to open my old sgv graphic files developed using this font, then inkscape distorts them, and when i try to reproduce again the a new graphic template using the font, i fund the library font of inkscape still empty; how to upload new TT font into the inkscape font library? Thank, sorry 4 my inglish (i'm italian)

First: your English is fine.

Second: we have the same machine. So here is what you do.

Start "Finder".

From the menu bar click "Go", then "Home". (Forgive me for not knowing what the Italian version would be.

In the "Home" folder double-click the "Library" folder.

In the "Library" folder, double-click the "Fonts" folder. You should now see all your personal fonts that were added since you first used your Mac.

From the menu bar click "Edit", then "Select All".

From the menu bar click "Edit", then "Copy..."

From the menu bar click "Go", then "Computer".

Double-click "MacBook Pro".

Double-click "Library".

Double-click "Fonts".

From the menu bar click "Edit", then "Paste".

Restart your SVG software (Inkscape) and your fonts will be fine.

My pleasure, Gianni.

It was funny how I found the answer as I was trying to explain what the problem was.

The Mac has two (or more, depending on the number of users) Fonts folders. Just ensure all installed fonts are in the main Fonts folder.

because of your skilled experience on mac and inkscape, i try to exploite them, just once more:
all my sgv file has been built with illustrator cs (.ia), before my IBM's death; i'm tryng to reuse and modify them with inkscape, on the new mac: what's the simplest way to import them correctly, and be able to upload on inkscape as svg files, and not just as a simple graphic image; or i have to use the functionalities of inkscape after have imported them?

sorry
hoping to give back your technical favors, i'm just a graphic sw fan, instead my professional skills are strong as Concept, Analysis and Project Manager;
so if you need, in this fields, without knowledge about your work, i'll be very happy to give answer to a question of yours.
best regards

I would like to install a new font into my Inscape program. It is for a prodject im doing any way I won a PC how do i go about doing it ? Unfortunatly the people who made Inskape for got to make a add button for new fonts.... In fact if there is a developer reading this question id like to propose something like that ...place a add fonts button into the inskape program...any way other than this one problem INSKAPE Kicks Butt!

My use of Inkscape is done primarily on Mac OS X 10.4, or in Ubuntu's GNU/Linux. For more assistance on how to install fonts to have them show up correctly in Windows or in Vista, please consult a Windows or Vista forum as well as the very helpful inkscapeforum.com forum.

My PC runs GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Hardy Heron 8.04) and Windows XP Pro. I've decided that from Windows 3.0 until Windows XP the ride was bumpy but tolerable. With Vista? You're on your own.

Ubuntu (Linux), Mac and Windows users are all welcome over at:
