Note: if you are on a shared Mac with multiple users you may not be able to add the fonts to the central font folder as above (no admin rights). You will need to add them just for your user account. For this, add the files to this directory: Users/yourusername/Library/Fonts/. Fonts in this location are available to you only. No other other account on the machine can access them.
