What says fc-list?

Well, here's a hard way (just tested)

As root :
- copy afm & pfb files to /usr/share/fonts/Type1
- backup fonts.scale & fonts.dir
- run mkfontscale
- run mkfontdir

(ttf fonts - same procedure, /usr/share/fonts/TTF )

- run xset fp rehash

( besides this, You can always convert this font to ttf :/ )

Slawek
