You are going about it a far to complicated way :-)  Just specify the font
name.  Finding the font does not depend you specifying what you think is the
font folder (there is more than one in Mac OS X as each user can have its
own superset of fonts).  The searching for the font is performed by the
system when looking for a Mac font.  Actually, as the Mac font searching is
done last, specifying some arbitrary font folder as include folder is likely
to pick up an incompatible file.

However, many of the more recent Mac OS X fonts are not TrueType fonts...
