How can I add a font from my personal files into Inkscape? The one I am using is a TTF

You need to install it into your OS. Assuming you're using Windows, here are some instructions - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314960

It's on my computer, which is a MAC, but when it appears in the list on Inkscape I can't 'apply' it

Can you change to the font via the Text Tool dialog? (as opposed to the control toolbar) http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... ing-Dialog
