    Motion sees all the fonts in your system, so just add them to FontBook and they will show up. You need to quit and restart Motion after installing.

    Mark,

    What are some good sources to purchase additional fonts from? I was considering using dafont.com as a possibility. Has anyone had experience with them?

    Dafont is fine. But you might first want to check out https://www.fontsquirrel.com/ – lots of free fonts, including for commercial use.
