I like proposal (1) (sorry I reply so late).

And how about something similar for postscript fonts? I currently have
them in:
/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/

And some of them are repeated but with different names. I do not follow
other lists so I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but they
could all be somewhere such as:
/usr/share/fonts/type1/
with subdirectories for different encondings.
