Autodesk Revit only supports TrueType fonts. This extends to OpenType fonts that have TrueType outlines. I know firsthand that TektonPro is an OpenType font that uses PostScript outlines and therefore cannot be used in Revit. I cannot say for certain what the problem is with the Graphite font, but I suspect the same is true. You can open the font file to confirm this yourself.

Here is a link to a related FA (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=5141027&linkID=3770375)Q (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=5141027&linkID=3770375). This doesn't have any more information that I didn't already give you, I was just happy to find that it exists.

For the record, Kevin Hawkins is not an Autodesk employee, I am pretty sure he works for KarelCAD one of our Australian resellers.
