Font Folder for AI CS6 on Mac OSX

[CFH3 Media]

I have an OTF font that will not show up in Illustrator. I thought I had dropped into the various Font folders on my iMac. Is there some voodoo with OTF fonts on Mac OSX? I have run into this issue with the titler in Avid, also. Is there some magic folder I am missing so fonts show up in ALL programs? I even found the Adobe Font folder in App Support, that did not do it either.

Thanks in advance for any advice, I rarely use Illustrator and am at a loss.

OSX 10.9.5
iMac 27" late 2013

Go to the hidden Library folder:

Access hidden Mac OS library files

In there is a font folder. Put your fonts there.

If Illustrator still can't access them, search the forum on how to clean your font library.

But Illustrator can still be prissy in case the font is not properly created.
