If the fonts are meant to be used by TeX applications, they must reside within the TEXMFMAIN tree, that is /usr/share/texmf/. This only makes sense, however, if the TeX Font Metric files (*.tfm) are also available. Though not strictly necessary to function AFAIK, the font filenames in TEXMFMAIN should follow the Berry scheme. The lmodern package is an example for making fonts available both to TeX applications and to defoma/X11. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
