Is your font visible fc-list/fc-match, i.e., is it part of the libfontconfig based fonts service? Or is the X server providing the font? Is this function (by Miles Bader) showing your font? Is it showing a complete list of fonts? 


(defun list-fonts-display (&optional matching)
     "Display a list of font-families available via font-config, in a new buffer.
   If the optional argument MATCHING is non-nil, only font families
   matching that regexp are displayed; interactively, a prefix
   argument will prompt for the regexp.
   The name of each font family is displayed using that family, as
   well as in the default font (to handle the case where a font
   cannot be used to display its own name)."
     (interactive
      (list
       (and current-prefix-arg
	    (read-string "Display font families matching regexp: "))))
     (let (families)
       (with-temp-buffer
	 (shell-command "fc-list : family" t)
	 (goto-char (point-min))
	 (while (not (eobp))
	   (let ((fam (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position)
					(line-end-position))))
	     (when (or (null matching) (string-match matching fam))
	       (push fam families)))
	   (forward-line)))
       (setq families
	     (sort families
		   (lambda (x y) (string-lessp (downcase x) (downcase y)))))
       (let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*Font Families*")))
	 (with-current-buffer buf
	   (erase-buffer)
	   (dolist (family families)
	     ;; We need to pick one of the comma-separated names to
	     ;; actually use the font; choose the longest one because some
	     ;; fonts have ambiguous general names as well as specific
	     ;; ones.
	     (let ((family-name
		    (car (sort (split-string family ",")
			       (lambda (x y) (> (length x) (length y))))))
		   (nice-family (replace-regexp-in-string "," ", " family)))
	       (insert (concat (propertize nice-family

			       " (" nice-family ")"))
