You'll have a TeXShop Engines directory containing the shell scripts that are invoked whenever you hit the Typeset button. The script that's called depends which engine you have selected. For XeLaTeX it's usually ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/XeLaTeX.engine by default.
It looks something like this:
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /Library/TeX/texbin /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
xelatex -file-line-error -synctex=1 "$1"
You can open it with a text editor and add the -shell-escape flag directly, like so:
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /Library/TeX/texbin /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
xelatex -file-line-error -synctex=1 -shell-escape "$1"
TeXShop will always call this script when XeLaTeX is selected, but you can save the changes to a new file, such as XeLaTeX-shellescape.engine. Both will appear in the menu and you'll be able to set the magic line to use this new script:
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX-shellescape
It is generally better to install fonts in your system-wide texmf-local folder rather than your personal texmf folder. In fact, TeXLive now has a simple script installed for installing the non-free fonts such as classico.
The really simple way
Open a Terminal window and type the following: (you should be logged in to an account with administrator privileges.)
sudo getnonfreefonts-sys classico
And you are done!
To use the font, add
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{uop}
to your document preamble to make Classico the sans serif default.
What the script is doing (the slightly more complicated way)
Effectively the script is simply downloading the font from CTAN and executing 3 commands. Here's a step by step version of what it does, which you can also do if you prefer. I also leave it in for fonts that are not installed by the script. I will begin from the assumption that you have downloaded the uop.zip file and it is in ~/Downloads.
Open a Terminal window and type the following:
sudo unzip ~/Downloads/uop.zip -d /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
You will be asked for your password.
This should return the a whole bunch of lines reporting the unzipped files:

Next enter
sudo texhash
this will rebuild the file list database to reflect the added files. This command should return:
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/ls-R...

texhash: Done.
Next enter
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=uop.map
This command will enable the font map files and produce a lot of output too:

Now you are done. Use as above.

From the Finder
The reason you didn't find the
~/Libraryfolder using the Go menu was that you left out the~. This symbol denotes your "home" folder, whereas without it (what you typed/Libraryis the system Library folder.) Here's what the Go menu input should look like:From inside TeXShop
But with recent versions of TeXShop there's a direct way to get to the
~/Library/TeXShopfolder in the TeXShop menu of the application:From the Terminal
From the command line you can type
This means "change directory to
~/Library/TeXShopand open.(the current directory)". This will open a Finder window with the directory in it.Adding a new template
A template file is simply a
.texfile that is stored in the Templates folder. Once you have added a file there, it will be immediately available in any new source window you open.
