Quite. Note that sometimes, the fonts can be found under file names that
are largely more cryptic that those obtained from the Berry scheme...
Examples from gsfonts:

  AvantGarde-Book  /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.pfb
  Palatino-Roman   /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/p052003l.pfb
  Symbol           /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.pfb
    -> haha, the first letter must be the initial of the family name!

  Helvetica        /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb
  Courier          /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n022003l.pfb
  Times-Roman      /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb
    -> wrong ;-)
