You may need to start a new gnome-terminal with the --disable-factory
flag, or equivalently close all of your terminals and restart
gnome-terminal.  I'm not clear on the specifics of how often (or even
if) gnome-terminal checks for the presence of new fonts.

Once gnome-terminal finds the font, it will be listed as "Fixed".
