If you are not seeing it in the Simulator, its likely you have not installed the font in Windows.

Then you are not using the right name in your code. You don't use the .otf or .ttf inside Corona.

local textObject = display.newText( "Hello World", 100, 100, "Alex Brush", 40 )

Next, if you're building for Android, depending on the build, OTF fonts may not supported. I think OTF support was added with one of the recent daily builds, but I don't believe the last public build supports OTF.
