Yes; they show up in the “User” collection but not the “Computer” collection, which is what led me to the hypothesis I offered.

I believe this is because I’ve installed them as user fonts — not system-wide fonts — and DrRacket is installed in the system’s Applications folder...but I’m not sure. I don’t see much info about font choice in the DrR docs (aside from the documentation on font%, font-list%, etc. — which seems off base and overcomplicated for this question).
