Fonts go under "User/Library/Fonts"

You can load brushes and maybe shapes via the brush/shapes window fly out menu and choose load brush/shape.

When I work with Pixelmator - assuming it's the same for Photoshop, which I highly believe it is - just double-click the .ttf or what-ever the extension will be for the font file to have a preview window appear to help you work out wether that's really the font you wanted, just hit "Install Font" and you'll be able to access it Universally across your Mac now.

Brushes are even simpler. Just download a custom brush, double-hit the .abr file (extension used for brushes) and it will instantaneously be loaded up in your program.

You'll get the whole brush pack, you're then free to keep/delete parts/the whole set at your own leisure.
