Arial, for example, doesn't show up, but 'Arial Black', 'Arial Hebrew', 'Arial Narrow', and 'Arial Rounded MT Bold' does.
In another example, Georgia does show up, but its other family members, such as italic, bold, and bold italic, are not present.
Similar problems are present in Windows builds (Truetype fonts don't show in the list, Symbol for instance), and have been for a long time. AFAIK, this is a problem with the underlying font handling libraries (Pango), so the current option is to wait until font detection gets fixed over there.
Then again, I don't know too much detail myself, maybe your problem is something more specific than what I'm describing...
