I made those; but I haven't used them with TeXShop.
Did you put them correctly into your texmf/ tree,
or into another tree and adjust  texmf.cnf to look there ?
Then run  texhash ?

Also, did you realise that any  .TTF  or  .ttf  files are not the real
TrueType fonts ?  They are at most symbolic links. You have to get the real
files for yourself from the font foundry and adjust the links, if necessary.

Also you must edit either:

  ..../texmf/pdftex/config/standard.map
or
  ..../texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg

to read  msttfont.map .

There may be a mistake in the README on this last point.


Hope this helps,
