Also, in a desperate move in Font Book I clicked in Restore Standard Fonts under the File menu and told me I needed to reinstall the OS because of some random problem I was just about to boot from the Recovery disk when I gave it another chance and found this.

I'm running 10.8.2 Server, before Mountain Lion I didn't have these issues. So I dragged it to the all users Font folder and before opening Font Book again, I just opened the file directly from the Font folder and this time it did install the font. So I looked into the user Fonts folder and saw the font file was indeed there it just wasn't read by Font Book or any application. "Install Font" would summon Font Book but the Font wasn't there, it just looked like it made the effort to install it. I didn't install them, nor by clicking on Font Book. If the Font Validation window is shown, select the checkbox next to a font, then click Install Checked. How to install a font (details in the Help section) Extract the files you have downloaded, then: Windows 10/8/7/Vista: Right-click on the font files Install Mac OS X: Double-click the font file Install font button. Choose File > Add Fonts, or click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar. In the Applications window, select Font Book its icon is a book with a big F on it. Select the library in the list of collections. Here, I have downloaded Alex-Brush from FontSquirrel. In the Font Book app on your Mac, choose File > New Library, then enter a name for your library. I kept opening fonts just by double clicking the file and then clicking on install. Launch the Finder on your Mac and double click on font folder which you downloaded in Finder. I read all of your answers and, looking for a solution myself, I think I just accidentally came up with one.
