Debian font howto / policy ?

[Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>]

Hello!

Where can I find document about how fonts are handled in debian? 

Document should give answers to the following questions:


	- Where are the fonts in my harddrive / where should I 
	  place new fonts?
	- How can I install new fonts ?
	- What configuration files should I modify when I add fonts ?
	- Core X-fonts vs. Fontconfig vs. ps-fonts etc
	- Defoma?
	- Gtk 1.x vs. Gtk2 vs. QT
	- OpenOffice? abiword?


Redhat seems to have this kind of document about fonts:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-x-fonts.html

I have been searching for a similar document for Debian, but so far I have
not found it .. 

If we are missing such a document, I think it would be good thing to add it to
the Debian Desktop Project.

(and yes, I don't have personally any problems adding fonts to Debian, but
it would be nice to know how things have been planned to be).
