Indeed, I have found that on Mac OS X, the system is very picky about
what it sees and doesn't see. For instance, I use the SkyFonts program
to install fonts from the Google Fonts site. Apparently, it doesn't
install them as system fonts, so if I want to use them in LilyPond
(and PT Sans Narrow, one of the fonts in that collection, is the font
I currently use for LilyPond), I have to go ahead and download the ZIP
file and install them through FontBook, but almost every other program
I use has no issue with it. I think Inkscape might be picky as well,
but I don't do enough stuff with those fonts in that program to
remember.
