And yes in case anyone is wondering I am using tts files for the fonts.

Thanks for any help.
'not showing up in font family', meaning they are shown separately in the available custom fonts? or not showing up at all?

There are rules that determine when a set of TTF/OTF files are a 'family'. I think it is a common font metadata property (Font Family Name), and not just a file naming convention.

You might need an app to view or change the metadata. At least on macOS, Finder doesn't seem to let me see it, and Font Book automatically groups them.

If you use TTC (TrueType Collection) then the TTC contains all of the fonts for that family.

Kindle supports TTF, OTF, and TTC files.
