I want to thank all the people who responded, both by news and by mail.  Many  
people suggested I try "buildafmdir /LocalLibrary/Fonts", which did cause them  
to show up in the font panel, but as "unusable" fonts.  It turns out (thanks to  
all of you for this advice) that you then have to run               
"cacheAFMData /LocalLibrary/Fonts".  When I did this all the fonts showed up  
and were usable.  (You know, it seems kind of silly that you have to do all  
this just to put a new font in /LocalLibrary, when it's done automatically for  
certain other directories.)
