Bug#478704: texlive-xetex: 478704: fontconfig instead
Hi Paul,
long time has passed, but slowly we are reaching TL2009 for Debian
status.

That sounds a good idea. So I have some questions (since I want to
do that for TL2009, but also for lmodern)

links would do it?

Sounds easier.
Some questions:

Does that mean that all fonts in *all* directories *below*
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/opentype/public
are added?
That way we simply can add that config file in texlive-common and have
all the fonts, whenever they are installed, automatically included?
Probably some fc-cache call are necessary?
Is there a debhelper dh_* for that?
Best wishes
