Are you creating a web page? Publisher will show 11 or so fonts when you are
creating web pages. To use all the fonts, on the toolbar, Format, Font, uncheck
Show only Web fonts.

If above is not the issue, are you getting an error?

I get absolutely no error message and no, I'm not creating a web page but a
brochure.

This is really a SWAG but...try changing your default printer.

If your printer has built in fonts it could be the reason of your lack of font
selection. You can change using the printer fonts option in your printer
properties.

Are you using a font manager?
Have you setup your file as a Commercial print?
