Cannot use win7 fonts in xfce4-terminal

Hi, I recently installed the ttf-win7-fonts AUR package successfully. I can use these fonts in LibreOffice, but not in xfce4-terminal. I do not see them in the menu for fonts when I go to Preferences->Appearance->Font.

The .ttf files are in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF directory. I tried running fc-cache and restarting xfce4-terminal and Awesome. I also tried creating a ~/.fonts directory, copying the .ttf files there, but I still cannot use them.

What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

I suppose they don't show up in "xfce4-appearance-settings" either, right?

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

I'm actually not using XFCE desktop environment - just the terminal emulator.

Im not sure about this but, why would you want those fonts in terminal? : i suggest to take a lot at the infinality repo that has a lot more fonts and tey are open source.
