Hi Manuel, I tried your file and it worked as expected. Attached is the resulting pdf.
I think that for default font lookup any downloaded fonts should be copied into either /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts. FontBook "installs" fonts in the latter directory. But "font installation" is nothing more than copying, so manually copying the fonts is OK too.
