Thank you for your reply.

I have two questions:

1. How do I recognize the extensions for these files?

I think that Type 1 fonts have a .pfa or a .pfb extension and that Metafont 
files have a .mf extension. But I also have the lm fonts where the directory

/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/lm

contains files with extensions .mp, .mpg. .mph, and .mpl.

I am unsure what to do with these.

2. For self-installed fonts, is checking the directory

/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/source

sufficient, or do I need to check the other sub-directories in

/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/ ?

Thank you once more for your very helpful reply.
