This way they'll be available to most applications through fontconfig. TeX does its own stuff with fonts, and it's not enough to drop a font in the TeX directory to make it available to TeX documents. It would be possible, but quite complicated, using defoma. -- .''`.

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

I do not pretend to have the full answer to the question, but I see no full answer yet on the list, and this may interest you. The listed Debian packages appear to deal in Type 1 fonts yet seem to have nothing particularly to do with X.
