You need to make sure that fontconfig knows where the fonts are installed.
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf has a list of directories; you can place your fonts 
in any directory or subdirectory of those listed (usually /usr/share/fonts
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts).  If they're elsewhere, you can either add 
the new directory name to a configuration file or move them.
