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. Source: debram, ramification [1718 Fonts], standing separately from [1823 X Fonts] for precisely the kind of issue your question raises.
