[G4] OS X to OS X fonts

[Snow White]

Your OS 9 fonts will work fine in OSX.  If you install 10.3 or later 
you will have a font manager (in the OS) to help you eliminate the 
duplicates.

I put all my fonts from previous machines/OS es into one folder and 
called it "Favorite fonts".  I put it on the hard drive and with the 
system fonts - that is outside the User profile - that way they are 
available for everyone.  But you could put it into your user area and 
they would be available to you (but not other users).

As for finding the font from font book - just Apple - F and type in the 
name from font book or just search the file type "font" or the name 
font.  One of these searches will reveal the locations of all the font 
folders on the machine.  Fonts tend to be in only 2 or 3 places and all 
grouped together.  Good luck - hope this helps.
