TOPIC:

The program works just fine on a Mac OSX 10.9 system, however I'm not able to add a font set
pointing to an external font repository ... it pops up a selection screen, but regardless of what
I point it at, I never see a new font set.

Am I missing something profound here ?

Hi Tim,

I already answered your email about this issue (twice).
I copied part of my answer bellow, just in case it could be useful to future readers.

There are some rare cases where this could happen,
so please try the following:

a) Make sure that your fonts are of one of the formats recognized by Find my Font,
namely True Type, Open Type or Type-1 postscript

b) If the fonts reside into an external hard disk, please try to copy them to an internal one
(there are some reports that external hard disks especially when formatted in NTFS
or physically located to a MS-Windows Server, may cause similar problems)

c) Make sure there is no "strange" characters in your entire path, like European languages accented characters, the pipe symbol "|" or other non-latin ASCII symbol.
The Mac OS allows these symbols in the paths but the underline libraries of Find my Font are sometimes incompatible.

I suggest to start by trying hypothesis (b) & (c) as it's the most probable.
You can try to copy e.g. 10 of these fonts to a short local path
with no special characters (only latin letters, digits or "_" and try to create a Fontset on this path.
If this succeeds, copy all your fonts in a similar path.
