But no, this isn't a bug, it's a feature! :-)  Actually, it's the side-effect
of a feature, but that doesn't help until you understand it all.

First, the Character dialog of the Format menu will always get you access to
all fonts installed in the system.  However, this can be painfully awkward.

Second, the fonts presented in the Font menu are a subset of the fonts in the
system.  (Similarly, the formats presented in the Format menu are a subset of
the formats available.)  You CAN control the fonts presented in the menu by
using the Command-Option-+ key to add, or the Command-Option-- (minus) key to
remove, entries from this menu.  YOU MUST BE IN FULL MENUS TO CUSTOMIZE THE
MENUS, though the results will remain in short menus.

Basically, to add a font to the menu, press Command-Option-+ (plus).  The cursor
will change to a large plus sign, indicating that you will be adding to the
customized menus.  Then, select the Character dialog from the Format menu, and
scan the list of fonts till you find the one you want.  When you click on the
font name, the bell rings and the cursor returns to normal.  Examining the Font
menu shows that you have added that font.

If you wish to add more than one, hold down the shift key while making your
selections (except for the last one).  This will retain the "big plus" mode
for multiple selections.

To remove a font from the menu, press Command-Option-Minus.  The cursor will
change to a big minus sign.  Go to the Font menu and select the one you wish
to remove.  Again, a bell indicates it's done, and holding the shift allows
multiple selections.

Note that you can add/delete formats in the Format menu, and that some pretty
unexpected things can be added to that menu:  Show/Hide invisible text, page
break before paragraph, one or two column, etc.  Also, this technique can be
used to create a whole new menu, the Work menu.  The Work menu can contain
instant selections to styles, glossary entries, and even document names!

For complete information, RTFM, in this case the "Reference to Microsoft Word",
in the section titled "Menus."
