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.
