For some unknown reason the fonts copied in as part of the install simply do not appear in the fonts folder or in the Mathematica palette. The fonts really are there, they are just hidden. Want confirmation the fonts are there? Try copying the Mathematica fonts into the fonts folder. An overwrite message will appear for each font already present.
