Actually, that's not a typo.  "I meant to do that!" :)

If you leave out the " then you get far too many fonts, because the grep
matches iso8859-10, iso8859-11, etc. as well as iso8859-1.  The "
anchors the end of the match.

No, this is the right path.

On any properly installed X system (this is not just Debian, and not
even just XFree86), /usr/lib/X11 is a symlink pointing to the current
installed version of X's lib directory (in this case, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
as you point out).

But the correct, and documented, way to install fonts is via the
/usr/lib/X11 link and not /usr/X11R6/lib/X11.
