No this in unnecessary! Don't do this. THis is done automatically if you
install texlive-fonts-extra, did you?

There seems to be 2 problems:
* the missing mathdesign fonts
it seems that they have not been added before, but arev math
does call for it in arevmath.sty
Upstream svn depot already include the mathdesign fonts, but
I guess we will not be able to include them into the current
packages.
* the Corrupted NFSS tables.
No idea where this comes from. I assume that the mixture of
arev with mathdesign (not present) makes the NFSS tables
corrupt, but this is a wild guess. If someone else here on
the list has an idea, please step forward, Ralf?
Best wishes
Norbert
