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.

Have you any other versions of those fonts?
I wonder if the font files are corrupted.

I did not have that problem for me.

I opened the font files with font viewer and they all list as already installed. And they show 
up in LO's font listing, but whenever I try to use one I just get a blank--the insert cursor 
disappears and no text. But if I change to, say, Arial, then the text reappears.

So the fonts are installed or sort of half-installed, and LO recognizes them to the extent of 
listing them, but refuses to use them.

     OK
     I just installed some of the listed fonts to my Ubuntu 13.04/MATE
     laptop.
     I used the
     "highlight" > right-click > open with the font viewer.

     Then I install the fonts with the "install button".

     I had not problems.
