SOLVED! Thanks to all of you for patiently talking this through with me until I found the problem.
It was this-- First I put my fonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype and when that didn't work, I put them into home/.fonts. I remembered that just now and deleted them from the former to see what would happen. And it solved the problem. Now I have them all recognized and working. But it's odd that the malfunction was so selective about which fonts not to set up properly.
