I would expect that if you installed the fonts with the package manager they 
should just show up.  In my distro (OpenSUSE) they're already installed as 
part of the basic system.

Xastir pulls the fonts from the underlying X system so if it's aware of them 
Xastir should show them with xfontsel.

Not being a CentOS user and never having added fonts to raspian I don't know 
for sure how to add them manually but a little googling got me this.

For Centos:
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-x-fonts.html

For debian (and presumably raspian)
https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts

I hope that helps
