It's possible, of course, it only has at least one disadvantage: Mac OS 
X won't see them! The correct way is to double-click every font file, 
and of course you can mark the whole bunch of Lucida fonts from Java or 
all the Classic or MS fonts once and then double-click them.

Sometimes Font Book crashes, thanks to its normal behaviour of *moving* 
the font files (you can change that in the Preferences) you don't have 
to repeat the whole procedure -- except when the font files are on a 
different volume. Then moving can't work. So it's good to have your own 
Fonts folder (~/Library/Fonts) open to see any results -- the default 
is to install the fonts only for the user! Again you can change this in 
the Preferences, ⌘-, everywhere.
