I have Selwyn's various .dfont files (CM_1.dfont etc) in a "CM and AMS" subfolder
in ~/Library/Fonts. Is that what you do? You don't have to put the .dfont
files in a subfolder (since 10.2?) but it keeps things nice and tidy.
Do you see the CM fonts in OzTeX's Edit > Font submenu? If they are installed
correctly then you should see CMB10, CMBSY10 etc in that menu.
If you open Applications/Font Book you should see Computer Modern listed
with lots of typefaces (all called Regular, which is a bit annoying).

Good.

That's correct (and true for my system).

Could be some sort of system cache bug. Maybe try removing the CM and AMS fonts
from ~/Library/Fonts, reboot (or just log out and in) and re-install the fonts.
Please let us know if you find a fix.
