This is likely a numpty question which I'm sure someone with an ounce of savvy can answer for me. ;)

I'm using Lightroom 1.4.1 on OSX 10.4 with Tim Armes' LR/Mogrify 3.9 but can't seem to work out the text overlay/annotation thing - applying the regular copyright watermark from Lightroom, it ends up as a tiny indecipherable something in the bottom left corner (conversion process goes to full sized uncompressed tiff file before the mogrify conversion and resize, hence the apparent anomaly).

I've read Tim's FAQ and still don't get what I need to do - I don't want to bug him as its more of a Mac question than an LR/Mogrify question - I know where to look (i.e. /Library/Fonts or <Username>/Library/Fonts) but all I see is FFIL files (Font Suitcase) and no TTF files (True Type Fonts). The FFIL contains all the ttf fonts in it (like regular, bold, italic, etc).

I've opened Font Book and set up a collection and chucked a few fonts in there (like Tahoma, which is ttf) but I've no idea how I'm supposed to make it available, so that I can select it in order to use a text overlay (it just creates another collection in /Font Collections folder). First time I've had to use this - I use Pages a lot for graphic work and have not had to use the Font Book before.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
