Terminal's a better choice, as the Finder doesn't fully show all the
permissions.

It would help if you'd explain how to do this, John. I don't know enough
about Terminal to do it myself.

In terminal, type "ls -l " without the quotes but with the two spaces. Then drag the Garamond font file into that terminal window and then type return. The output will look something like (obviously I used a different font):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 cjr 502 0 Apr 8 2004 /Library/Fonts/Office/Book Antiqua

^^^^^^^^^^ these characters show the file permissions. They are organized this way:

- means this is a plain file and not a directory
or other special file

rwx means this can be read, written and executed
by the owner of the file (cjr in this case)

r-x means this can be read and executed but not
written by members of the group (502 in this
case)

r-x means this can be read and executed but not
written by all other users

Hopefully that doesn't get word-wrapped too badly...

Cheers,

Chris
