Are you using a Font Manager? I'm not following how you would install a font to the app? They should be installed to your system, however I'm not running a Mac so may be wrong on that. I have used a font manager app to limit the amount of fonts available to AP, which can slow down at least launching AP.

Your screenshot is the Blend Ranges (cogwheel icon), which is separate from the Layer Blend Modes. Regardless of what Blend Mode you choose, the Blend Ranges will be as your screenshot shows. 

The Blend Ranges Graph, is like the graph you get when adding a Curves adjustment. The difference, the Blend Ranges graphs allow a gradual limitation tones, black-white. The Left most node represents Black/Darks, the Right most Highlights/Whites. The top of the graphs are %100, the bottom %0. They are a more defined adjustment, similar to PS Blend-If.
