The most common reason is simply that the fonts are not activated. Make sure the fonts are correctly installed or turned on in your font manager. It could also be because the font appears with a different name than the one you are looking for. Scroll through the font menu to see if the font has a different menu name (ie. Kabel shows up as ITC Kabel in some applications).

If you were already running an application when you activated the font you may need to relaunch the application to make your font appear. In rare cases, you may need to restart your system.
