Quick Tip: OS X Font loading order, aka Where are my fonts?
Tue, 04/25/2006 - 12:04
OS X loads fonts from these locations in this order:
1. Users->(Your User)->Library->Fonts
2. Library->Fonts (This is for all users of this Mac)
3. Network->Library->Fonts (If you're on a network)
3. System->Library->Fonts
4. (OS9 "Classic" System Folder)->System->Fonts
