Font not showing up in xfontsel [SOLVED]

Hello everybody, I've been trying to install Anonymous Pro from the AUR, and while I can use it from certain programs (LibreOffice, for instance), it won't show up in xfontsel.

Reading through the wiki and other posts, the only two possible solutions I found were:

1. Add the font's installation path to the X font path
The font installs in /usr/share/fonts/TTF, which is already in the default font path. I've double checked through xset q, and it's in there.

2. Run mkfontscale and mkfontdir in the font's installation directory.
Done, but it still doesn't show up.

What am I missing here?

If I remember correctly, Anonymous Pro is picked up by mkfontscale and mkfontdir, but it has a space in the filename.  Rename the files to a filename without a space, rerun fc-cache, mkfontscale, and mkfontdir and you should be okay.

That worked, thanks!

I'll mark this as solved and notify the package maintainer.
