What do you mean by this? Which fonts, where were they before, and 
where are they now?

The fonts used by TeXShop and i-Installer's teTeX-TeXLive live inside 
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/, 
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/fonts/, 
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/ and (assuming you created this 
directory) ~/Library/texmf/fonts/, as sets of various files in various 
formats. The CM fonts themselves live inside 
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/.

If you don't know Unix, it's dubious that you have changed these 
directories. Moreover, they are owned by root which means as a normal 
user you shouldn't be able to modify them.

Are you referring to the various CM fonts you may have, as a former 
Classic user, inside your Classic font folder /System Folder/Fonts/, in 
the form of FFIL screen font suitcases and LWFN printer font files? 
These were used by Textures and OzTeX, and the various pre-OS X Mac TeX 
software, but they are not used by TeXShop.

The fonts inside the OS X font folders /System/Library/Fonts/, 
/Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ are not used by TeXShop either, 
unless you installed the experimental XeTeX and started to play with 
it. Did you do this?

Hope this helps,
