Just to confirm, did you run 'fc-cache -f' after you installed the new fonts?

It's needed for every application, with fonts, that is installed later, which
will most likely place its fonts in $target/Shared/fonts. Without /S/L/S/fonts
in the Fontconfig path, the new fonts wont be available. A workaround
would be to link every new font from /S/L/S/fonts to /F/Fonts.
