Could you explian exactly what has to be done or even provide the
necessary implementation?
As changes to existing fonfconfig config files are necessary, I
reassign this request to the fontconfig package.
Dear fontconfig maintainers, citing the project home page, TeX Gyre
"is an extensive remake and extension of the freely available 35 base
PostScript fonts distributed with Ghostscript ver. 4.00. The important
aspect of the project is providing not only the support for TeX but
also the cross-platform OpenType format of the fonts."
The attached patch will register these fonts as metric compatible
alternatives for the original Type 1 fonts (which look fugly if e.g.
used to render web pages that request the Helvetica font).
Cheers,
- Fabian
