I am having an issue installing a new font to my 10.8 system. I've downloaded an .otf file, but it doesn't seem to want to add itself to Font Book. I'm doing the usual steps:

1) double-click the .oft file
2) this opens a Font Book pane prompting to "Install Font", which I click.
3) Font Book opens a progress bar saying "Installing Font"
4) no error messages appear... but the font does not appear in Font Book. It just seems to fail silently.

Here's the odd thing though: the font file moves itself to /Library/Fonts as you'd expect. Any advice?
