Hi Paul,

thanks for the long and helpful email.

So a simple
	ln -s /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1	\
		/usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive
	ln -s /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/opentype	\
		/usr/share/fonts/truetype/texlive
would suffice?

That sounds nice. I mean, we haven't registered *any* font with
defoma/fontconfig for now, so we can even wait for triggers
and let it stay there without any other changes to the postinst
scripts, or hack a bit and add fc-cache call to those putting
files into fonts/type1 or fonts/opentype.

Would (one or the other or both) be a valid option?

If I don't have to do anything else to do but add the above two links
that I can already do for the upload to unstable which is imminent
(we have hopefully fixed the most serious bugs by now).

Again, thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
