Well, thanks to Anne Louise Gockel, at Cornell, for the winning answer:

"Did you issue `xset fp rehash' or do something to restart the X server?"

And, of course, I had done no such thing.  Oh well.

I just did, though, and the new fonts are now accessible.
So, it seems that the above steps are correct, and that step (e) should be
replaced with:

e.  Run "xset fp rehash".

Thanks, again, Anne.
