To get FB to recognize the Font's existence, the Font has to be in your 
OS Font folder as well as in your Project's rsrc file ..

When your program is built, the Program will recognize the font that is 
installed in its own resource fork but during the time you are writing 
the program and making trial compiles, FB ONLY recognizes a font that is 
in the OS Font folder

I have found, by experience, that it is also best to use the font's ID 
Number to "Call It" rather than its name
